by Alan Stamm Covid vaccine eligibility expands significantly across Michigan next week when anyone 65 or above can roll up her or his sleeve for a free shot. Saying that, as the governor did Wednesday, is the easy part. Making it happen is tough and could take two to three months in some areas. Vaccinations are going at a slower pace than we would like, Tricia L. Foster, the state s chief operating officer, said Friday afternoon at a briefing with the governor. Only 28% of Michigan vaccine doses shipped since Dec. 14 have been administered. Nationally, data from the Centers for Disease Control indicates that only about a third of the doses distributed so far have been used.
