COVID Vaccine: Trusted by Doctors
Tested for safety and trusted by doctors, the COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services has released a new 'My Why' spot featuring Michigan doctors discussing why they trust the COVID vaccine. As most people trust their doctors for credible information, help us share the video with your networks.
See how you can prepare for your shot and any possible side effects, then schedule an appointment at Michigan.gov/COVIDvaccine. #MIDoseofHope
