COVID-19 Pfizer Booster Shot Available In Detroit

DETROIT — Mayor Mike Duggan and Chief Public Health Officer Denise Fair said Wednesday the COVID-19 Pfizer booster shot will be provided at all City-run vaccination sites.

Only individuals who have received the first and second dose of the Pfizer vaccine at least six months ago are eligible.

"According to the CDC, unvaccinated people are 11 times more likely to die from Covid than vaccinated ones and the Delta variant likely will be here in full force by November," Duggan said. "I can't recommend strongly enough that anyone who can get the booster, go to one of our vaccination sites and get it as soon as possible so you can be protected and stay safe."
