Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera will help to promote COVID-19 vaccination in Michigan as co-chair of the Protect Michigan Commission.
Cabrera and the Tigers will produce public service announcements in English and Spanish to encourage Michigan residents to get the vaccine, wear masks and social distance, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced Wednesday.
“Based on what I know from getting vaccinated already, the shots are nowhere near as bad as the virus," Cabrera said in a statement. "Our goal with the commission is to get as many people vaccinated as possible, and I hope my support toward that end is successful.
