Mayor Mike Duggan announced Monday that the city is shifting COVID vaccination appointments scheduled for Tuesday to Saturday. The 3,000 appointments have already been rescheduled. The second-dose appointments for March 16 will remain unchanged. The city says the appointment will be at the same time on the new date. If there is a conflict for an individual regarding the rescheduling, they are asked to call 313-230-0505 to schedule another day for next week.
“We felt this was right approach to deal with the fact that getting to TCF tomorrow could be very difficult for a lot of people,” said Mayor Mike Duggan in a press release. “Rather than have to reschedule a lot of people who might miss their appointment weeks down the road, it just made sense to shift everyone at once to a day weather should not be an issue.”
Duggan is also asking Detroit residents to move all parked cars from city streets by 6 p.m. on Monday to let the plows clear the snow.
The City said they use a three-level system for snow removal during the winter weather and that contractors will complete all residential streets within 24 hours.
