Increase Immunity in Our Community!

Our Partners

The Blue Water Immunization Partnership is a group of community volunteers who represent a wide range of public and private industry. Our group comes from a wide variety of interests and backgrounds: students, parents, grandparents, healthcare providers, and citizens from all walks of life. We are very lucky to be supported by a variety of community service organizations throughout the county. Our goal is to share accurate information so that people can obtain their vaccines with informed consent.

Your healthcare provider is your most trusted source for advice on vaccines for you and your family. No vaccines may be given without your full consent. Vaccination isn’t just about personal protection, it’s about community responsibility. When enough people in a population are vaccinated, it creates “herd immunity,” which helps protect those who cannot receive vaccines due to age, health conditions, or other factors. This shared immunity has been crucial in eliminating diseases like smallpox and nearly eradicating others like polio.

You may have a great immune system, but your loved one may have recently been through chemotherapy, or has other health problems that put them at risk. Newborns, especially premature babies, are at risk for many diseases that a healthy adult can manage with no problem, but can be deadly for a baby. Consider getting a vaccine to protect someone you love!

Vaccines are a personal choice. Get the facts, and choose what is best for you and your family!

Who can I ask about my vaccines?

Your Doctor, Nurse Practitioner (NP), Physician Assistant (PA), local Pharmacist, and the St. Clair County Health Department are all great resources. Ask them if you need any immunizations. They can print a copy of your MCIR sheet, which shows all the immunizations you have received in the stae of Michigan, and show those vaccines that are due, or recommended, for your age and personal risk factors.

Adults can also go into the Michigan website to obtain their own copy of their MCIR immunization record. A driver’s license, passport, or state ID card must be uploaded to verify your identity. https://mcir.org
