The nation is trying to find different ways to administer the coveted Covid vaccine.

Birmingham's Fire Department has requested vaccines from the state and Oakland County and would like to help innoculate residents, The Oakland Press reports. The department hopes to receive the vaccines in the coming weeks. 

“We prepared for this turning point in the pandemic in April by purchasing syringes and needles with the hope of someday inoculating residents who are most susceptible to this deadly disease,” said Chief Paul Wells.

Residents should not call at this time, the city says, but can register for updates by:

  • Getting on a citywide email list

  • Registering for the city's Nixle emergency alert system

  • Sending a text message with the zip code 48009 to 888777.

  • Visiting www.OaklandCountyVaccine.com and complete the ‘Save Your Spot’ form.

  • Register for updates from the Oakland County Health Department by texting OAKGOV to 28748
