WUPHD seeing a decline in appointments

BESSEMER, Mich. – As the COVID-19 vaccine supply coming into the Western Upper Peninsula becomes more reliable, providers there are seeing a decline in the demand for appointments from those age 65 and older.  Residents in Gogebic, Ontonagon, Houghton, Keweenaw, and Baraga counties can visit https://coppercountrystrong.com/vaccine to locate a provider in their area. Those without computer access should call 211 for assistance in scheduling an appointment. Community partners are also working on a plan to provide mobile vaccinations to those who have difficulty obtaining transportation or are homebound. One option is the newly approved Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.
