Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan has announced the initial stages of the COVID vaccine rollout.
Starting tomorrow (FRI), D-DOT and police department employees will be able to get vaccinated if they want to. Next week, the city will offer drive-thru inoculations for senior citizens at TCF Center.
Duggan says health officials will make sure they vaccinate the most vulnerable as well.
“Over the next six weeks, they are going to be on site delivering vaccines at all 29 homeless shelters and all 60 senior citizen apartments,” said Duggan.
Duggan says the state has allocated 20-thousand doses and if they get more, health officials will expand the people eligible to be vaccinated.
The mayor says the city's surveys show about 200-thousand Detroit residents want to be vaccinated as soon as possible.
