COVID-19 Vaccine Recommendations Update
Public Health Bulletin for Health Care Providers - July 2025
Dear colleagues,
Recently, the Health and Human Service (HHS) director issued guidance to change COVID-19 vaccine recommendations for healthy children and pregnant persons. The CDC subsequently issued updated COVID-19 vaccine guidance for children.
The newly restructured Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) also met, and announced two new workgroups, including a review of the current childhood schedule and another to review the safety and effectiveness of vaccines that have not been reviewed for more than seven years.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) continually reviews evidence on new and existing vaccines. This evidence overwhelmingly demonstrates that vaccines are safe and have saved millions of lives and prevented tens of millions of hospitalizations in the US over the past 30 years.
MDHHS COVID-19 Vaccine Recommendations Remain Unchanged
MDHHS is aware that on May 29, 2025, the CDC made updates to the vaccine schedule on their website.
MDHHS continues to recommend COVID-19 vaccination for everyone aged 6 months and older, including those who are pregnant. This aligns with longstanding guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). Vaccination remains one of the most effective ways to prevent serious illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19. Vaccination remains one of the most effective ways to prevent serious illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19.
Importantly, COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy has been shown to protect both the individual and their newborn. Maternal antibodies passed on during pregnancy provide critical early-life protection for infants.
What This Means for Michigan Providers
MDHHS continues to support evidence-based decision-making grounded in thorough safety reviews. The recent changes in CDC guidance were not based on new data, peer-reviewed evidence, or updated medical studies. MDHHS will continue to independently review all federal guidance to ensure alignment with Michigan-specific health priorities and population needs.
We urge providers to stay informed, discuss the benefits of vaccination with patients using shared decision-making practices, and continue offering COVID-19 vaccines as part of routine preventive care, during prenatal visits and pediatric appointments.
If you have questions about this guidance or need additional support, please contact the MDHHS Division of Immunization at checcimms@michigan.gov.
Thank you for your continued partnership.

(4,757 posts)... they get snapped in the crotch by the cold, wet towel of reality; when even their stupidest tunnel-vision dreams are shown to be exactly that. The last of the hard-core hold-outs will have been exposed for the Nazi wannabes they've always been, and perfectly willing to cut down their neighbors in the streets; when the gutters in front of their homes turn to rivers of blood from THEIR children. Then maybe, and only just maybe, they'll realize what a horrific mistake they made in trusting this evil fuck, even for a New York minute.
But it will be too late, because their heads are already in their neighbor's crosshairs.

(31,353 posts)we know of course that they won't, and even in Michigan, the magats will either never see it or never believe it.
rfk jr as choice for HHS will result in many prematurely dead people. that seems to be the goal for krasnov and company.
