Upper Peninsula Health Plan Encourages You To Get A COVID-19 Vaccination

Marquette, MI – February 2, 2021 – Upper Peninsula Health Plan is getting the word out about the importance of getting a COVID-19 vaccination.

Sue Sands, LPN, Community Health Worker Clinical Liaison with UPHP, spoke about COVID-19 being an unpredictable disease with no way to know exactly how it will affect you if you contract it. She shared her thoughts on Mark & Walt in the Morning this week.

Sands says getting the vaccine prepares your immune system so it’s ready to fight if you’re exposed, adding that the vaccine is safe and effective

If you have specific concerns about your health and getting vaccinated, always speak to your doctor first.

Sands says a comprehensive list of vaccine locations organized by county is on the UPHP website that includes contact information, whether or not they are currently accepting appointments, and if a wait list is available.

She added that it’s important to check back often as vaccine availability is changing daily.
