The vaccination clinic in Macomb County is a partnership between the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency (MVAA) and the Michigan National Guard, which both fall under the state DMVA, and are under the medical direction of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS).
The Sterling Heights clinic is the second vaccination clinic hosted by the DMVA, after a March 22 Upper Peninsula clinic in Marquette where 328 individuals were vaccinated.
”Our first vaccination clinic was highly successful, and we want to keep the momentum going,” said MVAA director Zaneta Adams. “There are tens of thousands of people in Metro Detroit who deserve the highest-quality of care and access to medical benefits like the COVID vaccine. These clinics are integral in helping people get vaccinated.”
