Health systems will get a decreasing share of vaccine shipments going forward, according to state health officials.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services has backed off a plan to send 70 percent of COVID-19 vaccines to local health departments after hospital systems decried the move.
Earlier this week, the state health department informed hospitals and county health agencies of its intent to decrease allocations of vaccine to hospitals from 40 percent to 30 percent of the state s weekly supply.
