The MiImms Portal will no longer be available or supported after August 6, 2026. A new secure application for requesting your official Michigan immunization record is expected to be available in November 2026. More information will be shared as it becomes available. In the meantime, you can request your immunization record from your health care provider or your local Michigan county health department. You may also complete the Request for Official State of Michigan Immunization Record form and submit it to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Immunization Program.
For additional information about requesting your immunization record, visit MCIR.org.
In October 2025, Michigan adopted the immunization schedules published by the American Academy of Pediatricians, the American Academy of Family Physicians and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists as the standards of care for immunization practices in Michigan.
MDHHS is working to ensure that all materials and webpages reference these immunization recommendations that are supported by evidence and aligned with best practices.
MDHHS continually reviews evidence and the scientific literature to stay aware of issues related to vaccine safety and effectiveness.
The overwhelming body of evidence clearly shows there is no causal link between vaccines and autism. The recent update to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention websites suggesting that vaccines may cause autism does not appear to be based on new evidence. MDHHS agrees with leading experts, including the American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP) and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) in their assessment of the evidence.
In a statement, AAP president Susan J. Kressly said, “Since 1998, independent researchers across seven countries have conducted more than 40 high-quality studies involving over 5.6 million people. The conclusion is clear and unambiguous: There’s no link between vaccines and autism.”
The AAFP has also issued a statement: “Vaccines do not cause autism. Decades of rigorous research have failed to provide credible scientific evidence linking vaccines to autism. Vaccines are among the most effective tools we have to keep people, especially infants and children, healthy and out of hospitals. Continued claims about a vaccine-autism link risk public health by causing people to delay or defer vaccination out of fear.”
