DETROIT – All Michigan residents 16 and older are now eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine.
State guidelines lifted restrictions on booking a COVID-19 vaccine appointment on April 5, allowing all adults to get one of the three FDA authorized shots.

Michigan will also see a boost in vaccine shipments starting this week, to help combat the current COVID-19 surge, which is among the worst in the U.S.
Options for finding a vaccine have been expanding across the state in the last week and will continue as supply increases. Here are some of your best options for finding an appointment:
Pharmacies/stores
CVS, Walgreens, Walmart and Rite Aid are quickly expanding appointments in Metro Detroit and across Michigan. The best time to find appointments is early in the morning. (Pro-tip: Search by ZIP codes)
Also, check with your local neighborhood pharmacies. Many have vaccine supply or wait lists.
Local health departments
Local health departments have been launching local clinics for residents, some in local communities and some at the county-level -- you can find a list of each health department here.
Walk-in clinics
Walk-in clinics are one of the best ways to get a vaccine. In Sterling Heights this week, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, ACCESS will host a Pfizer walk-in clinic open to all 16 and older. More info here.
Hospital systems
If you’re a patient at a hospital system in Michigan, they are offering vaccines, but most are on waiting lists. Here are links to the major hospital system pages:
