The man, whom Michigan health officials are not identifying, told them he was visiting ultra-Orthodox communities in the United States to raise money for charity. Health officials jumped on the case — but couldn’t reach the man because of a problem with his cellphone. To get information out to the ultra-Orthodox community, health officials used its internal messaging system known as a calling post. As of early April, health officials have given more than 2,100 vaccinations. Hatzalah groups in other parts of the country are reaching out to county officials for advice on boosting vaccination within the ultra-Orthodox community, Faust said.
