IRON MOUNTAIN — The Dickinson-Iron District Health Department announced on its Facebook page Tuesday that all COVID-19 vaccine doses have been allocated for appointments.

The department won’t schedule any more vaccinations until additional doses have been received, officials said.

The department on Tuesday began accepting phone calls for appointments for two priority groups in Dickinson and Iron counties, but the high demand left many residents without confirmation.

For now, the DIDHD is limiting distribution of the vaccine to the Phase 1B Priority One group — ages 65 or older — and Phase 1B Priority Two group, which consists of first responders, educators, corrections staff and child protective service workers.

The department said it is trying to secure more doses and will notify residents when they are again able to schedule appointments.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s office said that on Tuesday the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced it would send millions of vaccine doses to some states, including Michigan. Whitmer and eight other governors had requested more vaccines that she said were being held back by the Trump Administration.

Whitmer also said she sent a letter Monday to the Trump Administration requesting permission for Michigan to buy up to 100,000 vaccine doses.

The DIDHD on Tuesday posted only three new confirmed COVID-19 positives in Dickinson County and six new cases in Iron County.

The DIDHD had Dickinson County at 2,053 confirmed positives and 211 probable cases, with 1,936 recovered, 67 deaths and 261 cases still active. For Iron County, the DIDHD showed 802 confirmed cases and 70 probables, with 742 recovered, 34 deaths and 96 still active.
