COVID-19 Vaccine Provider Enrollments and New MCIR Provider User Agreements

December 17, 2020

Due to the extremely high number of COVID Immunizing Provider Enrollment applications being submitted to MDHHS and centralization of establishing new MCIR provider sites, applications are prioritized according to when they will be receiving the COVID vaccines.  Priority is according to those sites identified to be receiving COVID vaccine in the very near future and are required to be processed prior to others that may not receive vaccine until a later date when available according to the set prioritization.

The COVID Enrollment form in Redcap approval does not guarantee receival of COVID vaccine (at least not immediately).   If you have any questions regarding enrolling in the COVID Vaccine Program please email your question to MDHHS-CovidVaccineProviders@michigan.gov.  You may also visit  www.michigan.gov/COVIDvaccine, then selecting “Provider Guidance and Education” for additional information.
