The State of Michigan has been hosting a series of virtual town hall meetings to discuss COVID-19 vaccines, and the next one is focused on Gen-Z residents aged 20-29.
The town hall will live stream on Facebook at the Michigan Health and Human Services main page tonight, Tuesday, July 20th, at 5:30 PM.
Only 39.8% of Michigan residents aged 20-29 who are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine have received at least one dose, and the rate for those aged 16 – 19 is at 40.3%.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is concerned that “as variants of the COVID-19 virus spread and hospitalizations continue in the unvaccinated population, it’s vitally important to help those who have yet to get vaccinated understand the importance of protecting themselves through vaccinating.”
The town hall will feature young adults and medical experts who will address the safety and efficacy of the vaccine in a Q & A format.
