Thank you for helping us get back to normal!
These past few months have felt exciting and hopeful as we have witnessed so many of you take the necessary steps to get vaccinated and protect our community from COVID-19. ACCESS has administered 20,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, and we're just one part of a network of clinics and medical facilities across the state working to vaccinate all of Michigan.
We are proud to be a part of Michigan's vaccination efforts. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to be the first to know about all upcoming vaccination opportunities.
Do you have questions about the COVID-19 vaccines? We have hosted several webinars focused on COVID-19 and the vaccines, all featuring panels of local and international medical and faith leaders. Our panelists have answered your most pressing questions, including the following:
