The governor announced the sweepstakes in June in an effort to incentivize Michigan residents to get vaccinated for the virus this summer, with a goal of immunizing at least 70% of the state’s population.
As of Monday, Aug. 23, 65% of Michigan residents ages 16 and older have received at least one dose of a COVID vaccine, while 56.7% of that age group are considered fully vaccinated.
