The City of Detroit has expanded and added walk-in COVID-19 vaccine clinics in the city.

As of Thursday, the city’s vaccination rates are at only 21%, about 10% less than Michigan’s vaccination rate.

With eight million doses delivered to Michigan and six million shots being administered, demand for the vaccine is drying up.

Detroit opened four vaccination sites that will not require appointments in an effort to speed up getting younger people vaccinated against COVID-19.

Fifty-four percent of Detroiters age 65 and older have at least one dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, but the number is to 26% for Detroiters 30-64 and 10% between the age of 16 and 29.
