As COVID-19 vaccine clinics in Michigan move out of health buildings and into public spaces, they become more easily accessible to people who are on the fence about getting a shot but also to people who are vehemently opposed to vaccines.
Lisa Turk was working at a vaccine clinic in Emmet County last Thursday when she thought she might get hit by a truck.
Turk is a nurse with the Health Department of Northwest Michigan. She said it started suddenly.
“Somebody backed up their truck really fast right into the parking lot right next to where we were at, and I wasn’t sure he was going to stop,” she said. “He did stop, and then drove off with a very loud muffler.
Pop-up vaccine clinics put public health workers in the public eye

CADILLAC â The sooner you get vaccinated, the sooner life can return to normal.
It s been one of the pro-vaccination messages as soon as the vaccine opened up to the general adult population. Now, with kids age 12 to 15 eligible for the Pfizer version of the COVID-19 vaccine, there s another way to explain the same idea: One thing I would encourage parents to remember is that there were a lot of disruptions that kids experienced this year related to sports and school, said Lisa Peacock, health officer, Benzie-Leelanau District Health Department and Health Department of Northwest Michigan, during a Munson Healthcare press conference. Just like we always encourage you to get in for that sports physical early before fall sports start in August, we are going to encourage you to come in and get your children vaccinated early.
