Northwestern Michigan College announced today that more than 22,000 area residents were fully vaccinated against Covid-19 at NMC’s Hagerty Center.
The four month partnership between the college and the Grand Traverse County Health Department will wrap up this week.
The vaccination clinic opened on January 18 and was the first and, until late April, the only mass vaccination site in the county.
It was integral to accelerating the pace of vaccinations in northern Michigan and considered a model statewide.
As of June 4, Grand Traverse County had 59.1% of eligible residents vaccinated (65.8% had received an initial dose), among the top counties for vaccination coverage in the state.

CADILLAC â It s been three weeks since young teens age 12 to 15 have been able to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
In that time, 19.4% of the state s population in that age bracket have had their first shot in a two-dose series; according to data from June 1, that means 96,379 young teens out of 497,959 have partial protection against the virus.
Young teens are gaining on 16- to 19-year-olds, who have been eligible for the Pfizer vaccine since early April (the Moderna and Johnson and Johnson vaccines are still only for people 18 and older).
Though school-age teenagers are about to leave school for the summer, early summer vaccination can put families in a good position to enjoy summer festivals, activities and the resumption of sports practices before next school year, health care professionals suggested during a recent Munson Healthcare-hosted press conference.
