(WXYZ) â Kroger and the Archdiocese. What do they have in common? Relaxed mask policies for those who are fully vaccinated. If you follow the CDC guidelines, if you do whatâs necessary to be safe, it works, said Monsignor Chuck Kosanke Wednesday, as the Archdiocese shared the news that vaccinated parishioners can now attend mass maskless.
The news comes a week after the CDC announced that vaccinated individuals no longer need to wear masks indoors. Theyâre trying to give a reward for people who are vaccinated. And people who are vaccinated really in many circumstances donât need to be wearing a mask, said University of Michigan epidemiologist Arnold Monto, acting chair of the FDA s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee.

No. The vaccines do not contain any carcinogens.
If you didn’t get your vaccine at a doctor’s office, do I need to register with the CDC to be counted?
No. If you are a Michigan resident your information should be entered by the group that administered your shot into the Michigan Care Improvement Registry (MCIR). That’s the state database where all vaccination records are maintained.
If you had your shot out of state you can talk to your doctor or your local health department about having your vaccine record updated.
CADILLAC â Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced that 55% of eligible Michiganders have received COVID-19 vaccination.
That means the state has met the âVacc to normalâ benchmark to re-open in-person work across all industries.
The stateâs vaccine tracker dashboard doesnât show Michigan at the 55% threshold. Thatâs because the state is using CDC data for the âvacc to normalâ benchmarks that provide for the slow lifting of epidemic orders as more of the population is protected against COVID-19. The stateâs own vaccine dashboard uses data from the Michigan Care Improvement Registry (MICR); but MICRâs data is incomplete because some vaccine providers donât report to MICR, such as Veterans Affairs hospitals or out-of-state providers.
