VaccineMI is a community-driven effort to help Michiganders learn accurate, up-to-date, verified information about the coronavirus vaccine, so they they can learn when they will be eligible and how to take their place in line.

Our volunteers call potential vaccination sites daily, asking them if they have the vaccine and if so to whom they will administer it to and how to get an appointment. We write down what they tell us, and publish it to this site.

We want to support the urgent work you are doing in getting Michiganders vaccinated as quickly as possible. Please email us at contact@vaccinemi.com to discuss.

Does this effort increase or decrease toil in the healthcare system?

Most hospitals will get thousands of phone calls per day. They are currently being slammed by many more people than usual asking them the same question: "Do you have the vaccine?"

By asking that question and publishing the answer, we can save their phone bandwidth for the day-to-day operations of the hospital. We also save people seeking the vaccine from having to call dozens of locations to find one that has availability.

Is the information on this website accurate?

We publish only what the vaccine site told us when we called. The situation is complex, supplies may vary throughout the day, and not everyone at the site might have up-to-the-minute information as to what their policies actually are.

We're doing our best, but can't make any guarantees.

Michigan’s statewide COVID-19 vaccination program has been evolving rapidly. Federal, State, and county officials are all publishing frequent updates on a variety of websites. These government websites are your best source for official information. We are a community-led website and do not represent the government or any healthcare provider.
