Vaccine information program launched

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and the Protect Michigan Commission have launched a text-messaging program to share COVID-19 vaccine information.
The program will reach 1 million people in counties across Michigan, with a focus on high-vulnerability communities and areas with low COVID-19 vaccination coverage.
The text messages will ask individuals about their plans related to COVID-19 vaccination, then link people to vaccination sites in their area or direct them to sources for more information.The Branch-Hillsdale-St. Joseph Community Health Agency encourages all residents who desire vaccination to respond to the text message or visit its website, bhsj.org.
