Whether you are a child or an Older adult, it is important to stay up-to-date on your Immunizations. Vaccines are responsible for the control of many infectious diseases that were once common in this country. Vaccines have reduced and, in some cases, eliminated many diseases that once routinely killed or harmed tens of thousands of infants, children and adults.
Immunizations are key to keeping our community healthy.

As a reminder:

By law, children must have had certain immunizations in order to attend school. Click here to connect to the CDC website’s Childhood Immunization Schedule to see if your child’s immunizations are up-to-date.

If you are going on vacation out of the country, be sure to check with a travel doctor about any additional immunizations you and your family may need especially if you are traveling to a tropical climate.

Have you heard about the Zostavax vaccine? This immunization is intended to prevent shingles in adults age 60 and older. Shingles is very painful and can cause long-term debilitating nerve pain so talk to your doctor about your risk of shingles and whether this vaccine is right for you.
