Beaumont, Ann Arbor-based Michigan Medicine and Henry Ford Health System in Detroit said on Jan. 7 they are reaching out to senior citizens in their directories to schedule appointments for the vaccine, according to the report.
Medicare-age patients with MyChart accounts with Beaumont will be contacted “within the next few days,” Jeffrey Fischgrund, MD, spine surgeon and chief of clinical services, told the Detroit Free Press. “In our case, that’s over 200,000 people.”
Dr. Fischgrund is also medical director for Beaumont’s COVID-19 vaccine steering committee.
