Let’s Get Vaccinated
Check out our seasonal wellness page to find vaccine clinics near you!
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone over 6 months old get the influenza and updated COVID-19 vaccine. Vaccines are one of the most important ways to protect yourself against respiratory diseases, including COVID, flu and RSV.
Summit Independent Living and UM Pharmacy Partnership are working together to make vaccines available to all who want them, by supporting Aging and Disability Vaccine Collaborative, with funding from USAging/ACL.

Learn More About NCIL’s New Advocacy Campaign, 5 For 5!
The National Council on Independent Living (NCIL) is leading a nationwide effort to Congress for $500 million to invest in community living & independence for people with disabilities.
Centers for Independent Living (CILs) (Title VII, Rehabilitation Act, as amended) have been underfunded for decades, leading to individuals with disabilities lacking access to critical services and support!
Many areas in the U.S., especially in rural communities do not have access to a CIL. CILs need more funding in order to expand their service areas to address the unmet needs.
Funding CILs enables individuals with disabilities to live in their homes with their families where they can work, attend school, worship, and participate in other community activities. CILs are hubs of disability information, resources, services, and advocacy. CILs are vital to the whole community. It also creates tremendous savings for taxpayers.
