4 New COVID-19 Vaccination Sites To Open In Macomb County

Mt. Clemens, MI - The Macomb County Health Department has announced it is opening four new COVID-19 vaccination sites, bringing the total number of county-affiliated vaccination sites to seven.


Other county sites include the mass vaccination site at the Verkuilen Building in Clinton Township, the Richmond-Lenox EMS drive-thru site and the Sterling Heights Senior Center site. 

“It is incredibly important that we remove barriers to vaccination, and opening vaccine sites around the county is one part of that work,” said County Executive Mark A. Hackel. “Our local community partners are playing a significant role in this effort and I want to thank them for their continued support of our health department throughout this process.”
 
Appointments are required at each location; the county-affiliated sites are not open to walk-ups. To make an appointment, eligible individuals can use the online scheduler, which can be found at  www.macombgov.org/covidvaccine. The scheduler now offers the opportunity to choose the location where a person wishes to receive their vaccination. It is available 24/7 and has new appointments added on a daily basis, with changes made in real time. 

Additionally, individuals aged 60 and older, 50 and older with pre-existing medical conditions, 16 and older with disabilities and/or medical conditions, or those who need transportation assistance to get a vaccine, are encouraged to register with the SMART Bus Macomb Vaccine Registration Line. They will then be contacted by the health department to schedule an appointment when one is available. Individuals can register at smartbus.org/macombvaccine, or they can call the registration line at 586-421-6579 if they are unable to use the internet.

“We are working diligently to expand opportunities for individuals to be vaccinated,” said Andrew Cox, director, Macomb County Health Department. “But it’s important that we remember to continue practicing COVID-19 safety protocols. Wear a mask, practice social distancing, wash your hands, stay home if you are sick and get a vaccine when it is your turn. We can’t let our guard down.”
