A new ad campaign is being launched in the hopes of raising awareness for child vaccinations. Michigan health officials are launching a vaccination campaign that stresses the importance of vaccinations. The "I Vaccinate" campaign created by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, along with the Franny Strong Foundation--will use television, radio, digital, social and outdoor advertising aimed at preventing serious diseases in children. In addition, a website launched where more information can be found about vaccinations.
