Vaccination

Join Upper Peninsula Health Plan (UPHP) in spreading community immunity! Getting the COVID-19 vaccine will help to protect you and those around from getting the virus if you are exposed. The COVID-19 vaccines that have been developed by world-renowned scientists since the start of the pandemic are safe and effective at preventing disease. Distribution of the vaccines to health care providers across Michigan began in December 2020, and are now available for all Michigan citizens over the age of 5.

There is no cost to get the COVID-19 vaccine. If you are a UPHP Medicaid or MI Health Link member and need help getting to your vaccine appointment, please go to our transportation page to make a request.
