Are Your Family’s Immunizations On Track?

Every parent wants to protect their child. It’s why doctors and researchers have worked so hard to create protections and a reasonable immunization schedule that will put an end to severe or deadly diseases. As your local health department, our mission is to help local families take control of their own health and prevent diseases from impacting their family.

Sadly, tens of thousands of Americans get sick from preventable diseases every year. When it’s preventable, there’s no need to put yourself, your child or your community at risk.

Most immunizations, including your annual flu shot, can be administered at one of our 5 clinics.

Right now there is a lot of talk across the internet about vaccines and autism. But, we encourage all of our parents to understand the facts before making a decision. After extensive research, the CDC has not found a link between autism and vaccines. You can read more about their studies and findings here. 

Another common misconception is that children shouldn’t be immunized if they’re not feeling well. But, if your child has a low-grade fever, a common cold, ear infection or mild diarrhea, there’s no need to reschedule. It’s important that they receive their immunization on time. If your child isn’t feeling well, just give us a call so we can determine if your child can receive their shot(s). If your child has a serious illness or medical condition, talk with your child’s doctor. They’ll be able to determine what your child can and cannot get at each visit. Learn more about it here.
