Harris is targeting areas with low vaccination rates like Detroit where fewer than 40-percent of the population is inoculated against COVID.
She called Detroit the definition of resilience and noted the TCF Center she was speaking at was used as a vaccination site.
Harris says making vaccines increasingly available is helping re-ignite the nation’s economy.
“This is incredible progress. And we need to build on that progress. And we need to build on that progress now. Because there are still a whole lot of folks who are not yet vaccinated. And that is certainly true here in Detroit.”
Harris, the Biden Administration’s point person on voting rights, also attended a listening session with those concerned about casting a ballot. Michigan’s Republican-controlled legislature is considering making dozens of changes to the state’s election laws.
