The COVID-19 vaccination effort in Berrien County is ramping up. Speaking during a Tuesday update, Spectrum Health Lakeland CEO Loren Hamel said the supply is improving.
“The vaccine is becoming more plentiful,” Hamel said. “As you heard, President Biden suggests we’re going to have enough for everybody in May. I hope that transpires without a glitch. It looks like we’re getting much more in the next few weeks than we had in the last few weeks. We long for that.”
Hamel said you should get whatever vaccine you can, whether it’s Moderna, Pfizer, or Johnson & Johnson. Berrien County Health Officer Nicki Britten said there are more providers of the shots coming online, now including some Walgreen’s stores.
The Berrien County Health Department is preparing for more residents to become eligible for COVID-19 vaccines. It has released the following: The Berrien County

A 25-year-old Benton Harbor man is dead following a crash in Benton Township early Saturday. The Benton Township Police Department says officers were called to the scene at South Benton Center Road and East Britain Avenue shortly before 2 a.m. They arrived to find a Dodge Challenger off the road and fully engulfed in flames. The Benton Township Fire Department put out the flames, and police determined the vehicle had been southbound on South Benton Center when it left the road and hit some trees. First responders gave aid to the passenger, but he died at the scene as a result of his injuries. The driver of the vehicle was taken to Spectrum Health Lakeland hospital for minor injuries. The Berrien County Sheriff’s Department is now investigating the crash and asks anyone with information on it to contact them.
