RESEARCH SHOWS THAT OMICRON is more transmissible than the traditional strain, which could spell trouble for states like Michigan that are amid surges.

"The data is clear that these vaccines are extremely safe and effective, and the side effects of COVID-19 are much worse than receiving a vaccine.

“I emphasize the importance of not waiting to get vaccinated. Now is the time," she said.
