Information pertaining to required immunizations for Michigan child care/school attendance can be obtained from the Michigan Department of Community Health (DCH) Web site (www.michigan.gov/immunize). The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends additional immunizations. Additional information on the CDC's recommendations can be obtained from the CDC Web site (www.cdc.gov/vaccines).
DCH has developed influenza (flu) information materials for child care facilities and preschools to share with parents. To be protected against the flu, children need to be given the flu vaccine every year.
Note: DCH sent out information regarding the temporary suspension of Hib vaccines for 2009.
