LANSING, Mich. — As of midnight Tuesday, Sparrow had distributed or allocated 74,202 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, 99 percent of what we have received.

Sparrow schedules clinics based on the weekly allotment we receive. The Sparrow Laboratories Drive-Thru Services Site is located at 3131 E. Michigan Ave., Lansing. Those who fit the criteria (as defined by the state of Michigan) can get more information at www.Sparrow.org/Vaccine.

On Tuesday, 1,149 vaccines were given by Sparrow. In all, 66 percent of Sparrow caregivers have received at least one dose of the vaccine and 5,544 are fully vaccinated (both doses).

Sparrow has been a national leader in COVID-19 patient care and testing, becoming one of the first hospitals in Michigan to offer tests for inpatients and using innovative processes to increase access and availability.

Sparrow has also been nationally recognized for its innovative COVID patient visitation policy in which a family member or friend is allowed to visit patients on a limited basis wearing personal protective equipment and following strict safety procedures.
