Immunizations
DHD#2 works with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in reducing vaccine-preventable diseases by providing free or affordable immunizations to all people from birth through adulthood. Appointments are highly recommended since clinics days and sites vary from month-to-month, although clients may receive immunizations on a walk-in basis depending on the availability of our staff. For an appointment, please call: West Branch: (989) 343-1826 Tawas (989) 362-6183 ext. 1501 Harrisville (989) 724-6757 ext. 1600 Mio (989) 826-3970 ext. 1700 The Michigan Care Improvement Registry (MCIR) is used by DHD2 to keep track of administered immunizations. This helps to reduce vaccine-preventable diseases, over-vaccination and allows providers to see a patient's immunization history. Although it isn't recommended, a form is available to those who'd like to opt-out of MCIR.
