The Maternal Infant Health Program nurtures health and wellness throughout pregnancy and infancy by partnering families with caring, trusted, and knowledgeable home visitors who serve the goals and needs of each family.
Our Vision is that all babies, families, and communities in Michigan are healthy and thriving.
This toolkit provides resources to support communication with families about the importance of vaccination. It provides direct resources to use when having vaccine conversations and provides guidance on navigating vaccine hesitancy, promoting vaccine equity, and establishing vaccine confidence.
In this toolkit, you will also find educational resources to enhance your own knowledge of vaccines, whether to build a foundation or to enhance existing knowledge.
Immunization assessment, education, and documentation are required per the Michigan Medicaid Manual and the Maternal Infant Health Program Operations Guide.
This toolkit was developed to support implementation of such immunization requirements by providing resources that can be used to integrate within Plans of Care, Protocols, and more.
