The MHA remains committed to supporting vaccination efforts across the state by providing healthcare professionals with timely resources, updated guidance and tools to strengthen public health outreach.
The state of Michigan has reported 18 measles cases and 855 pertussis cases so far in 2025, reinforcing the critical role of routine vaccinations and the need for clear, consistent guidance for providers.
The following tools are available to help strengthen vaccine outreach and support on-time immunizations:
- The Citizens Research Council of Michigan released a new vaccine report, which highlights recent changes to federal vaccine recommendations and provides policy recommendations to strengthen vaccination efforts statewide.
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has updated it’s Be Ready for Measles Toolkit, which now includes adult MMR vaccination decision trees, summer camp checklists and immunity record templates. Recent CDC data confirms 1,197 measles cases across 34 states and 90% of which are linked to outbreaks. Of these cases, 95% occurred in individuals who were unvaccinated or had unknown vaccination status.
- The July 14 I Vaccinate newsletter includes new provider resources and Q&A materials to support vaccine-related conversations with patients and families.
The MHA continues to work closely with the MDHHS Division of Immunizations and other partners to promote consistent vaccine messaging and improve vaccination rates across Michigan.
