MACOMB COUNTY, Mich. – As COVID cases in Michigan rise, Macomb County is ramping up its efforts to get more people vaccinated.
A new vaccine clinic opened Monday at the South West Macomb County Health Department. It’s in the Majestic Plaza on Van Dyke Avenue. Located northwest of I-696 in Warren.
It’s the fourth COVID-19 vaccination site in the county. There are plans for a fifth site. Chesterfield Township Supervisor Dan Acciavatti announced that the Chesterfield Township Senior Center will soon open as a COVID-19 vaccination clinic.
Macomb County is working to get as many people vaccinated as fast as possible. Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel said they can offer more vaccinations because they’re receiving more doses.
“Having more doses makes a difference,” Hackel said. “We can do 50,000 a week.”
Macomb County Health Director Andrew Cox said that they plan on opening even more vaccination clinics.
“We have an additional site in Warren,” Cox said. “As well as another in Sterling Heights.”
