Detroit A majority of southeast Michigan counties are vaccinating residents at twice the rate Detroit is and that gap is threatening to prolong the pandemic in Michigan s largest city and forcing health officials to find alternatives to mass-vaccination sites like the TCF Center and Ford Field.
About 1 in 5, or 21%, of Detroiters have received at least one shot, according to the city s vaccine dashboard, compared to 33% of residents in Macomb County, 40% in suburban Wayne County and 41% in Oakland and Washtenaw counties. Statewide, 37% of all residents have at least one dose.
At the current rate, the city won t be able to reopen by the summer and there s no reason it shouldn t be able to, Mayor Mike Duggan said this week, although he added if our vaccine rate is running far less than the surrounding communities, we re not going to make it.
