The State of Michigan is moving some of its COVID vaccines to low-income clinics to improve equity.

The State is shifting the vaccines to a network of 41 health clinics that serve low-income Michiganders over the age of 65, and will allow health providers who are “removing barriers to access” to request vaccines for people over the age of 60.

State officials believe that will ensure that Michigan is equitably distributing what remains of a limited supply of vaccines. As of last Monday, at least 13,300 COVID-19 vaccines had been delivered to these clinics, which could begin administering the vaccines to those 65 and older.

So how are they “removing barriers to access” for low income people when it is FREE?!?!? Pure idiocy.

They can have my shot. I don’t want it.
