The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and the American Academy of Pediatrics still recommend that all kids get certain vaccines at specific ages—when they work best to provide protection.

Even with changes to federal guidelines, parents can still follow the AAP’s schedule, and vaccines are still covered by insurance. Talk to your health care provider to ensure that your kids have the protection they need.

On Thursday, Dec. 18, Michigan’s Chief Medical Executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian issued a Standing Recommendation advising health care providers and families to follow the child and adolescent immunization schedule produced by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) or the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). We continue to stand by that recommendation.

The underlying scientific evidence remains unchanged and continues to support the full AAP and AAFP vaccination schedules for children. Families should still be able to access the full range of childhood immunizations as recommended by the AAP and AAFP to protect their children from serious diseases.

MDHHS will continue to provide clear guidance, backed by science to help protect Michigan families.

The AAFP rigorously reviews the science so we can support family physicians in protecting patients through safe, effective vaccination. You can count on the AAFP childhood immunization schedule: https://bit.ly/46HPsgq

Even healthy people can get very sick with the flu. This season’s vaccine is still your best protection, even if the strain isn’t a perfect match. Make sure everyone in your family 6 months and older gets vaccinated. Michigan residents can get vaccinated at many pharmacies, doctor’s offices, and local health departments.
Incluso las personas sanas pueden enfermarse de gravedad por la gripe. La vacuna de esta temporada aún es tu mejor protección, incluso si la cepa no concuerda perfectamente. Asegúrate de que todas las personas en tu familia de 6 meses de edad en adelante se vacunen. Los residentes de Michigan pueden vacunarse en muchas farmacias, consultorios médicos y departamentos de salud locales.
حتى الأشخاص الأصحاء يمكن أن يصابوا بمرض الإنفلونزا الشديد. لا يزال لقاح هذا الموسم هو أفضل حماية لك، حتى لو لم تكن السلالة متطابقة تمامًا. تأكد من حصول كل فرد في عائلتك يبلغ 6 أشهر فما فوق على اللقاح. يمكن للمقيمين في ميشيغان الحصول على اللقاح في العديد من الصيدليات، وعيادات الأطباء، وإدارات الصحة المحلية.
