COVID VACCINE UPDATE All Ingham County residents over 65 who have signed up with the Health Department should have received an email invitation to schedule an appointment. If you have not, check your junk folder or call 517-887-4623. Sparrow also has had many openings this week for those over 65. They will not send an email; you must log on to your mysparrow account and look for appointments.

Starting Monday March 8 those who are over 50 and have a qualifying pre-existing condition and parents/caregivers of children with special needs are eligible. Beginning Monday March 22 anyone over 50 will be eligible for vaccination regardless of health. There will likely be difficulty getting appointments initially as this means a huge group of individuals are now eligible but vaccine supply is increasing.

It is best to register now if you have not done so and note any pre-existing conditions for you or your qualifying child. Ingham County Health Department, Sparrow, McLaren (for existing patients), and Meijer will let you register now. Rite-Aid will let you register and search for appointments once you are eligible. Here is the link: http://ritea.id/michigan. Remember to check back frequently.
