DETROIT – With the announcement that six new vaccination clinics will open earlier this week, some seniors – such as 83-year-old Janice Coutilish – are wondering if this will finally be their chance to receive the vaccine.

“I really talked to a number of ladies, especially since each of them indicated that, you know, they’re all waiting,” Coutilish said. “I definitely think it will be in everyone’s favor.”

Starting Tuesday, free clinics that will open will include Melvindale, Romulus, Wayne Township, Canton Township and Plymouth and will be paired with a college, along with Highland Park and Hamtramck. Seniors should contact the faculty closest to them to schedule an appointment.

“So far, especially in the Wayne community, everything has been located in the Detroit area, with very little elsewhere,” Coutilish said. “I hope they spread it a little now.”

So far, Wayne County has given more than 36,601 vaccines. Another 13,000 are scheduled for this week alone. Coutilish just wants to move on and solve it.

“I waited a whole year. I followed all the rules and I knew I had patience and now everyone is worried “, Coutilish concluded. “Everyone is just anxious, but six should help me.”

Note: Please note that these vaccines will only be intended for residents of specific communities.

“Every vaccinated resident brings us closer to ending the pandemic,” Evans said. “I also want to thank Michigan for working with Wayne County to make sure we have more doses to get our seniors vaccinated faster. The vaccine distribution process is limited by the available vaccine – which no one gets enough of – but Wayne County is firing into the arms as fast as we get them. ”
