Out-of-state vaccinations encouraged to report; CVS accepting walk-ins
Health officials are encouraging Monroe County residents who received one or both of their COVID-19 vaccines in a state other than Michigan to report it locally.
Officials with the Monroe County Health Department (MCHD) are asking those who received out-of-state vaccinations to visit their offices on S. Custer at Herr Road so the information can be entered in the State of Michigan’s Immunization Registry.
Meanwhile, CVS has announced it is accepting walk-ins for vaccinations with no appointment necessary. And as of Wednesday, more than 50% of Michigan residents over age 16, or about 4.12 million, have received at least one dose, the governor’s office reported.
