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.
