Hepatitis B can lead to lifelong illness, liver cancer, or even death. Babies are especially vulnerable, which is why the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, and other groups recommend that all newborns receive the first dose of the hepatitis B vaccine at birth.

Talk to your baby’s doctor about how the hepatitis B vaccine helps your child grow up healthy.

Turn Flu Season from Wild to Mild

The flu can hit hard, fever, aches, exhaustion, and days knocked out of your routine.

But the flu vaccine helps tame the worst of it, and it's not too late to get one!

Getting vaccinated can:
✔️ Reduce your chance of getting sick
✔️ Make illness milder if you do get the flu
✔️ Protect babies, older adults, and others at higher risk

Don’t let the flu run wild this winter.
Get your flu shot and keep it mild.

Rest is Prevention.

Staying home when you’re sick isn’t just about you, it’s an act of care for your family, friends, and community.

By keeping your germs to yourself, you help prevent the spread of flu, COVID-19, RSV, and other contagious illnesses.

Tip: Take a day to rest, hydrate, and recover. Your community will thank you!
