Don’t Wait. Vaccinate.
Vaccines are the most effective way to protect children, teens, adults and seniors against serious disease. They also help stop the spread of highly contagious disease in our schools and community, like whooping cough and the flu. It’s easy to find out which vaccines are right for you or your loved ones by calling your doctor or clinic. But for everyone’s health and well-being, don’t wait.

The ties are made of Microfiber/Silk blend giving the ties the look and style of silk with the durability and easy care of microfiber. Pillow Ties will not bleed onto your clothing or wrinkle easily if packed carefully in a suitcase. And the best part, when you rest your forehead on the soft, woven fabric, you will not be left with any incriminating lines from the pew in front of you, nor will you have to lay your face in someone else’s drool an a communal airplane pillow. The inflatable piece that rests within the necktie itself is made of a durable PVC plastic with a small “plug in hole” valve at the base for easy inflation and deflation of your Pillow Tie. The inflatable piece is completely undetectable when worn and not inflated.
