MARQUETTE It probably is frustrating, but patience continues to be needed during the vaccine rollout process.
The Marquette County Health Department said it is establishing a pre-registration process for people age 65 and older to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
This will allow individuals to get their names on a list for an appointment. When MCHD receives confirmation regarding how much vaccine will be allocated to the health department, it will use the list to call individuals to schedule appointments to receive the vaccine.
The MCHD stresses that it’s important for the public to know that the pre-registration process is being prepared and is not yet operational, so people are asked to not call the health department to pre-register.

Dr. Bob Lorinser, medical director of the Marquette County Health Department, Dickinson-Iron District Health Department, Western Upper Peninsula Health Department and Public Health, Delta & Menominee Counties, said the MCHD hoped to “have the cupboards bare” by Friday.
Vaccination clinics for people in that age group are scheduled from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Friday at the Northern Center on the Northern Michigan University campus.
The scheduling link at www.mqthealth.org went live at 10 a.m. Monday, with appointments scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis.
