Jeniffer Hall was hesitant to get vaccinated until early July when a Detroit pastor convinced her that she needed the shot to protect herself and her brother — who she has cared for since he suffered an aneurysm — from Covid-19.

The city of Detroit continues to battle coronavirus as city officials push for more people to get vaccinated.
