LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — The state of Michigan reports as of Friday, May 6th, that 54% of adults ages 16 and up have received at least one COVID-19 shot.
Health officials are saying that it’s a roughly a 2.5 percentage jump after factoring in those vaccinated outside the state or at federal facilities, and that the addition of 227,000 to the count on Friday puts Michigan close to a 55% benchmark Governor Gretchen Whitmer says is needed to allow in-person work in offices.
The reopening step will occur two weeks after the milestone is reached.
Officials say a new tracker uses data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which can access data from out-of-state providers and veterans hospitals.
