Kids need protection against measles as cases appear across the U.S. and in Michigan.

Measles is very contagious and can spread quickly among unprotected students in classrooms, potentially leading to serious complications and disrupted learning. The MMR vaccine is the only safe way to prevent infection, and it’s required for students in Michigan.

Talk to your child’s health care provider to make sure they’re up to date on vaccines. Learn more about the vaccines Michigan students need: bit.ly/michigan-school-vaccines

Because drugs can be mixed with unknown substances, anyone who uses drugs like co***ne should know how to prevent and respond to an opioid overdose. Drug test strips can help people better understand what’s in a substance, and Narcan (also known as naloxone) can reverse an opioid overdose and save lives.

Anyone in Michigan can get free naloxone (bit.ly/3Shl5dq) and find syringe services programs that may offer drug test strips and other support (bit.ly/3TWHr4n).
Debido a que las dr**as pueden mezclarse con sustancias desconocidas, cualquier persona que consuma dr**as como la co***na debe saber cómo prevenir y responder a una sobredosis de opioides. Las pruebas reactivas para detectar dr**as pueden ayudar a las personas a entender mejor lo que contiene una sustancia, y Narcan (también conocida como naloxona) puede revertir una sobredosis de opioides y salvar vidas. Cualquier persona en Michigan puede obtener naloxona gratis (bit.ly/3Shl5dq) y encontrar programas de servicios de jeringas que pueden ofrecer tiras reactivas para detectar dr**as, además de apoyo adicional (bit.ly/3TWHr4n).
نظرًا إلى احتمال خلط المخدرات بمواد مجهولة، ينبغي لأي شخص يتعاطى مخدرات مثل الكوكايين أن يعرف كيفية الوقاية من الجرعة الزائدة من المواد الأفيونية وكيفية التعامل معها عند حدوثها. ويمكن لشرائط فحص المخدرات أن تساعد الأشخاص على معرفة المواد الموجودة في المخدر بشكل أفضل، كما يمكن لناركان (المعروف أيضًا باسم النالوكسون) أن يعكس تأثير الجرعة الزائدة من المواد الأفيونية وإنقاذ الأرواح. ويمكن لأي شخص في ولاية ميشيغان الحصول على النالوكسون مجانًا (bit.ly/3Shl5dq)، والعثور على برامج لخدمات الحقن التي قد توفر شرائط فحص المخدرات وغيرها من أشكال الدعم (bit.ly/3TWHr4n).

Schools are for learning, growing, and playing. But when kids spend so much time in close contact, they can be exposed to dangerous diseases like measles or whooping cough.

School vaccines help protect your child, their classmates, and the entire community.

While you’re checking the school supply list and planning after-school activities, ask your child’s doctor about vaccines. They can help make sure your child is well-protected for a healthy school year.
