TRAVERSE CITY Two mobile medical units will soon begin travelling rural parts of northwest Michigan and deliver 1,000 COVID-19 vaccines in hard-to-reach areas.
Northwest Michigan Health Services (NMHSI) has been planning the outreach program for months to improve delivery to older residents who live in more rural areas. NMHSI is conducting community events in Oceana, Mason, Manistee and Benzie counties. The vaccines are targeting residents who are 50-years of age or older and may be of a higher mortality risk.
