Feds Rank Michigan Low in COVID-19 Vaccination Rates
Data posted by the CDC on Wednesday show that 35 states have administered more vaccine doses than Michigan, despite state officials' claims on Wednesday that the state ranks 11th for the number of initial shots given. At a Wednesday afternoon press briefing, Dr. Joneigh Khaldun, Michigan's chief medical executive, said she'd spoken with the CDC just moments before and was told that the state ranked 5th-best in the state for the number of vaccines administered. But that ranking wasn't borne out in the numbers posted by the CDC Wednesday night.
