Detroit Public Health Officer Denise Fair says that about 35% percent of city residents are currently vaccinated, but their goal is to reach 70%.
“We are really lagging behind,” Fair said. “If we don’t get 70% community immunity, who knows, I don’t know if we’ll ever get back to normal.”
Fair has been at the center of fighting this pandemic and keeping the public safe and informed. While she touts the rapid and successful efforts of mobilizing mass COVID testing when the city needed it most, getting Detroiters vaccinated against the virus is happening way too slowly.
See what Fair had to say in our exclusive interview in the video above.
