The MHA hosted the launch of Michigan for Vaccines May 10 at the MHA Capitol Advocacy Center. The coalition was created to strengthen Michigan’s commitment to evidence-based vaccine recommendations. It brings together healthcare organizations and other stakeholders to support immunization policy and promote access to reliable, science-based vaccine information amid changes in federal vaccine policy and the resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases.
The MHA has been involved with Michigan for Vaccines since its inception and continues to work closely with the Michigan Council for Maternal and Child Health, which provides the coalition’s initial operational infrastructure.
Michigan for Vaccines aims to engage policymakers, elevate trusted voices on immunization and support public understanding of vaccine recommendations. The MHA is participating in the coalition alongside healthcare organizations and advocates from across the state.
Resources available through the coalition include a press release, a recording of the launch event and the Michigan for Vaccines website.
