Dr. El-Sayed, can you shed any light on why the most vulnerable population, those severely immunocompromised, who the governor and health experts used as reasoning for others to follow social distancing and other safety measures, are now completely deprioritized in Michigan for the vaccine? It originally sounded like that demographic, many of whom are going without the care they need because the risk of Covid is too great to them, would be prioritized appropriately, but when the vaccines finally became available, the most vulnerable that had been talked about at every town hall and press conference, were just completely left behind. I’m frustrated and wondering if you have any idea why disabled and ill people are yet again being relegated to the back burner.
You're making a really important point. Immunocompromised folks ARE at higher risk for COVID-19 complications. AND yes, they need to get this vaccine. Thank you for raising this.
