Childhood immunizations

There is a current outbreak of measles in the US. Find more information with this CDC fact sheet

Childhood immunizations protect kids from serious diseases like measles, mumps, pertussis, and diphtheria.

Many children, teens, and young adults have fallen behind on immunizations. Now is a good time to get caught up for school, sports, daycare, and more.
