Vaccines and testing for the coronavirus continue to be readily available to anyone who wants them. So far, the state reports 61.4% of the population has gotten at least its first dose of protection.
The gold standard for vaccination rates is Leelanau County, where 75.5% of the jurisdiction has been covered. The northern Michigan area is home to Traverse City and a lot of vacation homes.
President Joe Biden plans to visit the city this week to celebrate the area's COVID-19 protection.
Where to get a COVID-19 vaccine near you
There are currently three different vaccines that have been approved by the FDA: Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson. The three vaccines do not guarantee you won't be sick but all three have high efficacy rates in preventing serious illness and decrease the chances of hospitalization if you do get ill with COVID-19.
Simply putting your name on the county list is one way to get a vaccine, eventually, but there are ways you can be proactive to find a vaccine faster.
Contact tracing
Michigan officials are also urging people to download the MI COVID Alert app to help notify of possible exposure and with contact tracing.
Authorities are still urging everyone to answer their phones if you get a call from the health department. Text messages are also now being sent in advance of the incoming call.
Meanwhile, everyone is also still reminded to keep doing the basics to stay healthy - wear a mask, wash your hands and keep your distance from other people.
