Send Your Children Back to School Protected from Serious Diseases<\/p>\n
National Immunization Awareness Month is a reminder that we all need vaccines throughout our lives.<\/p>\n
Back-to-school season is here. It\u2019s time for parents to gather school supplies and back packs. It\u2019s also the perfect time to make sure your children are up to date on their vaccines.<\/p>\n
To celebrate the importance of immunizations for people of all ages \u2013 and make sure children are protected with all the vaccines they need as they go back to school \u2013 Castro County Healthcare is joining with partners nationwide in recognizing August as National Immunization Awareness Month.<\/p>\n
Getting children all of the vaccines recommended by CDC\u2019s immunization schedule is one of the most important things parents can do to protect their children from serious diseases. If you haven\u2019t done so already, now is the time to check with the Medical Center of Dimmitt to find out what vaccines your child needs.<\/p>\n
Vaccines protect against a number of serious and potentially life-threatening diseases.<\/p>\n
When children are not vaccinated, they are at increased risk for diseases and can also spread diseases to others in their classrooms and community \u2013 including babies who are too young to be fully vaccinated and people with weakened immune systems due to cancer or other health conditions.<\/p>\n
Call the Medical Center of Dimmitt at 806.647.2194 to find out which vaccines are recommended for them before going back to school.<\/p>\n
