Michigan Grocery Workers Upset They're Not Included In Next Round Of Vaccine Eligibility

(CBS DETROIT) – Grocery workers are deemed as essential frontline workers but for Michigan they aren't at the top of the list when it comes to receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.

In Detroit they are already eligible to get a vaccine unlike for most of the state. Workers over in Kalamazoo say they feel forgotten about even as they handle hundreds of customers a day.

Starting March 1, Michigan's Agricultural and Food processing workers will be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine.

The state health department has clarified saying this does not include grocery store workers.
