Are you under 65 and non-essential? You're probably not supposed to have a Covid shot. And yet, somehow, some of you do.
From the Freep:
One of those loopholes was exploited through the St. Joseph Mercy Health System. There, a web link created for doctors, nurses and other health care workers to make appointments to get their shots was "in some cases ... shared publicly, resulting in unexpected submissions beyond 1A participants," said spokeswoman Laura Blodgett.
"As we move forward with vaccine administration of our community, we are in a position in which we need to trust that people who identify as being in an age group or essential occupation currently permitted by MDHHS (Michigan Department of Health and Human Services) are being truthful."
But not everyone is being honest.
"I had a patient just yesterday who was 63 or 64 and reported to me that he had had the Covid vaccine because he had quote-unquote 'connections,' " said Dr. Michael Williams, a primary care doctor in Rochester Hills who also is president of United Physicians, one of southeastern Michigan’s largest independent practice associations with 1,700 physicians.
Others have managed to skip the line in a more justifiable fashion — with connections to adminstration sites that thawed more vaccine than they could use in a day.
