COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – Health Officer Rebecca Burns told the Branch-Hillsdale-St. Joseph Community Health Agency Board of Health on Thursday how much things have changed in last month as appointment slots at COVID-19 vaccine clinics are not being filled.
Burns says they are almost having to beg people to take the vaccine against the virus.
To get more vaccines into arms, Burns says they will try to get vaccines out to other registers providers.
They also hope to have pop up clinics.
Burns reported that vaccine has been redistributed to Hillsdale Hospital, Sturgis Hospital, and Three Rivers Health as well as Fred’s Pharmacy in Three Rivers, White Pigeon Pharmacy, Colon Village Pharmacy, Bronson City Pharmacy, and primary care offices in Hillsdale County.
She added they continue to look to redistribute vaccine to other providers that can assist in getting more people vaccinated. Some pharmacy chains are also receiving vaccine directly including Meijer, Walgreens, Walmart and Rite-Aid.
