It is common to get sick from respiratory viruses, especially during the fall and winter. There are actions you can take to protect yourself and others. Learn about COVID-19, flu and RSV, and how to prevent them and reduce your risk of getting seriously ill.
The State of Michigan Chief Medical Executive has issued a standing recommendation that the state’s health care providers should refer to the respiratory virus immunization recommendations compiled by the American Medical Association (AMA) when determining which vaccines their patients should receive and the timing for their administration.
The AMA’s recommendations are aligned with evidence and guidance from the American Academy of Family Physicians, American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Vaccine Integrity Project and Infectious Diseases Society of American.
In addition, the COVID-19 standing recommendation issued Sept. 19, 2025, remains in effect for the 2026-2027 COVID-19 vaccine.

For each of these viruses, your best protection is to be up to date on vaccines. If you do test positive or are diagnosed with the viruses, talk to your health care provider about the treatment options that are best for you.

Across Michigan and the United States, deaths associated with influenza and COVID-19 among individuals under the age of 18, as well as RSV-associated deaths among children under the age of five, are reported to public health officials. Each case undergoes a thorough review and is included only when there is laboratory confirmation of infection and evidence that the illness contributed to the child’s death. This information is vital to understand the severity of these viruses, identify groups at higher risk, and guide prevention efforts to protect children and families.
