Michigan COVID-19 Vaccine Spotter

 As vaccine eligibility in Michigan opens up, one website has implemented a creative solution to the often frustrating and chaotic attempts to find a vaccine appointment.

The Michigan COVID-19 Vaccine spotter is a tool to help track down COVID-19 vaccine appointment openings at your local pharmacies. It automatically scans many pharmacy websites and shows any available appointments minute by minute.

If you are eligible under Michigan's guidelines you can quickly find a location in your area. Currently all Michiganders aged 16 and older with medical conditions or disabilities are eligible, and all Michiganders age 16 and up are eligible starting April 5.


There is a cool map option to help visualize availability. There might be a wait in your area but if you are willing and able to drive, an open spot might be an hour drive away.

Live Tracking of COVID-19 in Michigan


As of March 20, there are 549 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Michigan and three confirmed deaths. Ingham now has 7 confirmed cases (as of March 20). The difficulty in sharing a static image of a map is that this situation is changing very rapidly. Michigan Public Radio has created a web map being updated live with State-confirmed cases. You can find the tracker here.
