Michigan falls short of goal as Ford Field vaccine clinic nears end
View Comments
The mass vaccine clinic at Ford Field is coming to a close late Monday after falling about 60,000 doses short of its goal of vaccinating 335,000 people and providing the vast majority of shots to people from outside the city.
Just 7% of nearly 275,000 shots administered by the clinic were given to Detroit residents, according to site-collected data released by the state of Michigan.
Nearly all the recipients received the two-shot Pfizer vaccine along with 1,062 doses of the Johnson & Johnson at the site and four mobile clinics with the help of Wayne County, Meijer, the city of Detroit, Henry Ford Health System and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
A national study on childhood asthma led by Henry Ford Health System has found that family history, race and sex are associated in different ways with higher rates of asthma in children.

As the federally run mass COVID-19 vaccination clinic inside Ford Field prepared to close Monday, health leaders said the site opened at the right time in Michigan, when coronavirus cases and hospitalizations were surging and the need to get more shots in arms was vital.
“I m really proud of what we accomplished in eight weeks here. … Our goal was to maximize efforts to reach as many people as possible. COVID cases were surging in Michigan at the time, and it was a race to save as many lives as possible, said Dr. Steven Rockoff, a Henry Ford Health System physician who serves as medical director of the clinic, which ends at 8:30 p.m. Monday.
