August is national Immunization Awareness Month

**Back-to-school season is here, the perfect time to make sure your children are up to date on the vaccines they need as they go back to school, according to the Barry-Eaton District Health Department.

 

They recommend you all your child’s doctor to find out which vaccines are recommended before going back to school or visit www.cdc.gov/vaccines/ or www.barryeatonhealth.org.

BEDHD holds routine immunization clinics where children can get vaccinated and special “Back to School Clinics” are being held during August.  

For an appointment, call (517) 541-2630 in Eaton County and (269) 798-4133 in Barry County.

 

“Getting children all of the vaccines recommended by CDC’s immunization schedule is one of the most important things parents can do to protect their children from serious diseases,” said Jackie Anderson, BSN, Immunization Coordinator at BEDHD.

 

Vaccines protect against a number of serious and potentially life-threatening diseases. When children are not vaccinated, they are at increased risk for diseases and can spread diseases to others; babies who are too young to be fully vaccinated themselves and people with weakened immune systems because of cancer or other health conditions.
