New Commission Launches
State COVID-19 Vaccination Strategy
The new Protect Michigan Commission comprised of a diverse group of leaders from across the state charged with helping raise awareness about the safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine, hosted its first meeting recently and unveiled Michigan’s COVID-19 Vaccination Strategy.

The commission serves as an advisory group to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. Its goals are to protect the health and safety of Michigan residents by educating communities about the effectiveness of an approved COVID-19 vaccine to eradicate the spread of the coronavirus. The commission unveiled the state’s strategy to get 70% of Michiganders age 16 and older vaccinated as quickly as possible.
