COVID-19 Educational Resources

MDHHS COVID-19 Vaccine information

MDHHS has prepared a COVID-19 Vaccine webpage for providers. It is the ‘COVID-19 Vaccine Provider Guidance and Education Resources’. Another way to access this site is directly from the Department's COVID-19 vaccine webpage www.michigan.gov/COVIDvaccine, then selecting “Provider Guidance and Education”.
This webpage will have valuable information to support COVID-19 Vaccine Providers in the successful implementation of the COVID-19 Vaccination Program. It will also be home to a live MDHHS COVID-19 Provider Toolkit. This toolkit is currently being worked on and as soon as it becomes available, we will get a message out. This webpage will be partnered with CDC to provide important and timely education as it is arriving.
Here are some topics you can find at the COVID-19 Vaccine Provider Guidance and Education webpage:
  • CDC Covid-19 Educational Resources
  • Enrollment
  • Vaccine Recommendations
  • Vaccine Billing and Vaccine Codes
  • Patient Education & Adverse Event Reporting
  • Storage & Handling (S&H)
  • Vaccine Administration
  • Ordering & Receiving Vaccine and Ancillary Supplies
