“Michigan Medicine has mobilized its best and brightest faculty and staff, many of whom are leaders in their respective fields, to develop and execute a robust vaccine distribution program.

We also expect to do a small number of vaccinations today. We will provide photos, video and a news release later this afternoon.
Michigan Medicine has about 28,000 employees, so this first shipment is a limited supply.

We will ramp up the volume of vaccinations as early as next week, depending on supply.”
