MICHIGANDERS URGED TO GET VACCINATED, BOOSTED <\/b><\/p>\n

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) is reminding Michiganders to get their booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Booster doses are available six months after the primary Pfizer or Moderna series, and two months after the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.<\/p>\n

The COVID-19 booster dose may be given with other vaccines, including the flu vaccine, at the same time. Michiganders should bring their COVID-19 vaccine card or immunization record with them when getting their booster dose, which are available at any vaccine provider.<\/p>\n

Downloadable immunization records are accessible free of charge at the Michigan Immunization Portal<\/a>. If you do not have records in the portal, contact your health care provider or local health department.<\/p>\n

Find a booster at VaccineFinder.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n
