Michigan Medicine is opening additional first-dose COVID-19 vaccine appointments on Friday

ANN ARBOR – Michigan Medicine announced in an email to patients Friday morning that new vaccine appointments would be opening for patients 65 and over after 3 p.m.

Patients who have received an invitation to make an appointment but have not been able to reserve a time slot are asked to log into their patient portal this afternoon or call the phone number provided on their mail-in invitation to reserve a time.

Appointments can fill up quickly. If they fill up before you can reserve a time slot, or if you cannot take advantage of the available time slots, Michigan Medicine urges patients to keep checking their website to see when additional appointments are available for the first dose.

The health system expects an additional round of invitations for individuals to make an appointment for the first dose on Friday.
