Pontiac, Michigan – Oakland County Health Division will conduct 12 COVID-19 vaccine clinics by appointment only the week of Tuesday, March 16 – Monday, March 22 in the following communities: Holly, Novi, Rochester, Southfield, Waterford, and West Bloomfield. In addition, the Health Division will administer COVID-19 vaccine at eight long-term care centers. To date, 26 long-term care centers have received a first or second dose of vaccine. The county also is redistributing vaccine to 12 providers this week.

Along with the State of Michigan’s COVID-19 vaccination priorities, Oakland County Health Division has applied the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) to scheduling appointments to administer COVID-19 vaccines. After evaluating its first-dose appointments from Dec. 18 – March 4, the Health Division discovered that the SVI is helping the Health Division’s vaccine distribution mirror the county’s demographics.

Of 44,750 first doses, 75.22% were White, 14.15% were Black, 4.44% were Asian, 0.24% were American Indian, and 0.13% were Hawaii/Pacific Islander. About 0.30% of the appointments categorized themselves as Other. Race was unknown or not provided for 5.51% of the appointments. Please note that this appointment data by race only applies to Oakland County Health Division appointments, not countywide.
