Vaccinations
Vaccines save lives and prevent severe illness and health complications. They have protected generations of families. They are among the safest, most effective tools we have to prevent serious illness, hospitalization and death. Diseases like measles, chickenpox, whooping cough and others still spread today. Staying up to date with vaccines keeps us protected. Wayne County Public Health is here to help you and your family get the vaccines you need and be a source for trusted information to make informed decisions.
Talk with your health care provider about which vaccines are right for you. See below for recommended schedules for every life stage:

Vaccine Waivers
Non-Medical Immunization Waiver
Michigan requires children in school or childcare to be up-to-date on routine, required vaccines, or to have a waiver on file. Parents or guardians who choose not to vaccinate for religious, philosophical or other non-medical reasons must complete an education session with their local health department before a non-medical waiver can be issued.
In partnership with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), Wayne County Public Health offers an online process for completing the education required for a non-medical immunization waiver.
Who Can Use the Online Process?
The online process is available to families who:
- Live in Out-Wayne County (Wayne County outside the City of Detroit), or
- Have a child who attends a school or childcare program in Out-Wayne County.
How Does the Online Process Work?
- You must complete the entire online education session, but you do not have to complete it all at once.
- After completing the education session, you will automatically be directed to a secure electronic form. You will be asked to provide the information and authorization needed for Wayne County Public Health to complete your non-medical waiver in the Michigan Care Improvement Registry (MCIR).
- Your personal information is protected and confidential and is accessible only to authorized individuals and entities.
To begin, click the button below to create a username and password and start the education session.
This online process is only for families who live in Out-Wayne County (Wayne County outside the City of Detroit) or whose child attends a school or childcare program in Out-Wayne County.
[Coming Soon] Start Education Session
After you finish the course and submit the electronic attestation, please allow up to 3 business days for Wayne County Public Health to process your waiver in MCIR. Once it’s processed, your child’s school or childcare program will be able to see that the waiver is on file
If you prefer to meet with a nurse in person, have questions, or need assistance, please email waivers@waynecountymi.gov or call 734-727-7125.
Does Your Child Have a Medical Reason They Cannot Receive a Vaccine?
If your child cannot receive a vaccine because of a valid medical contraindication, please contact your child’s healthcare provider. The healthcare provider must complete a Medical Contraindication Form.
Wayne County Public Health does not issue medical waivers.
