The COVID-19 Vaccine is: SAFE, EFFECTIVE and FREE!

Under current federal regulations, small and medium-sized cities are not permitted to administer vaccination programs directly. Oakland County is the responsible authority for administering vaccinations that are not otherwise authorized by the State of Michigan within the City of Southfield. While the City of Southfield remains an active partner with Oakland County and other healthcare providers, the City is not directly providing vaccinations.  

It is understandable that some people may be concerned about getting vaccinated with the new COVID-19 vaccines that are now available in the United States. While additional COVID-19 vaccines are being developed as quickly as possible, routine processes and procedures remain in place to ensure the safety of any vaccine that is authorized or approved for use. Safety remains a top priority, and there are many important, potentially life-saving reasons to get vaccinated.

For more information on where to get a vaccine locally, contact Oakland County:
