Michigan essential workers now among those competing for a short supply of COVID-19 vaccines Updated Jan 22, 2021; Facebook Share Those essential workers are finding themselves now competing for the state’s limited supply of COVID-19 vaccines. Not including vaccine allocations for long-term care facility staff and residents, Michigan has been getting about 60,000 first doses a week for residents age 65 and older as well as a select list of essential workers, including teachers below the college level, police and other first-responders, jail and prison employers and front-line state and federal workers. Seniors are the largest group Michigan has 1.8 million residents in that age range and also the most vulnerable to COVID-19. For those reasons, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services are recommended that health-care providers allocate about 75% of the vaccine doses they receive for seniors, with the remaining 25% available for essential workers.
