Immunization coalitions are comprised of a variety of community partners, including healthcare and public health professionals, community leaders, parents, businesses, and anyone else who is interested in improving vaccination rates in the region that the coalition serves.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is comprised of 15 medical and public health experts that provide advice and guidance to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding the most appropriate selection of vaccines.

Immunization Waivers To obtain a medical waiver, please make an appointment with your health care provider and have them complete a Medical Contradiction Form. To obtain a non-medical waiver, you will need to make an in-person appointment with a Mid-Michigan District Health Department nurse.

CDC sets the immunization schedules based on ACIP's recommendations. The childhood and adolescent schedules are also approved by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
