In some Michigan counties, data from the state department of health and human services seems to show something impossible: More COVID-19 vaccines have been put in people’s arms than have even been shipped to those counties. Brett Dahlberg explains how to make sense of it.
Cheboygan County has vaccinated nearly 5,000 people against COVID-19, according to the most recent data from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services -- but according to that same data, the county has only received 700 vaccine doses.
“Obviously this doesn’t make sense,” said Devin Spivey, who directs community health and epidemiology for District Health Department No. 4, which includes Cheboygan and three other northeast Michigan counties.
