Credit Canva Michigan doctors and public health officials are encouraging parents to protect their 12-15 year old children with Pfizer s COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible. The vaccine was authorized for emergency use in this age group earlier this week by the Food and Drug Administration, and it was endorsed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. That s just under 500,000 additional people in Michigan, 500,000 kids age 12 to 15, who just became eligible for vaccination, and that gets us even closer to being able to end this pandemic, said Dr. Joneigh Khaldun, M.D., chief medical executive for the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

January 11, 2021 By Jon King / jking@whmi.com An online event later this month will feature a discussion with the pediatrician many people credit with helping expose the Flint water crisis.

The book was selected as Michigan Humanitiesâ choice for the 2019-20 Great Michigan Read, which aims to bridge communities around a common conversation. Area residents will have two opportunities to participate in the Great Michigan Read through the Howell Carnegie District Library.
