Medical Groups Issue Independent Vaccine Guidance for Respiratory Season

Why it matters locally: While these are national recommendations, they will inform local public health campaigns and individual health decisions across Michigan as the state prepares for its own respiratory disease season.

Major medical organizations have released independent recommendations for COVID-19, influenza, and RSV vaccinations. These guidelines emerge as the respiratory disease season nears, in the absence of federal directives. Several leading medical groups developed these immunization schedules. The recommendations aim to provide clarity for individuals regarding who should receive the various vaccines.
