It's National Influenza Vaccination Week! 🩹💪 A perfect time to remember that early immunizations help children build immunity before they are exposed to germs that can make them very sick.

Vaccines are one of our most powerful tools to prevent life-threatening diseases. That's why most childhood vaccines are recommended during your baby's first 12 to 18 months of life.

Have questions about which vaccines your child needs? You're not alone! Check out this helpful resource from AAP to see what's recommended before age 6: https://www.healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/immunizations/Pages/Your-Babys-First-Vaccines.aspx

¡Es la semana nacional de vacunación contra la influenza! 🩹💪 Es el momento ideal para recordar que las vacunas tempranas ayudan a que los niños desarrollen defensas antes de exponerse a gérmenes que pueden causarles enfermedades graves.

Las vacunas son una de nuestras herramientas más eficaces para prevenir enfermedades potencialmente mortales. Por eso, la mayoría de las vacunas infantiles se recomiendan durante los primeros 12 a 18 meses de vida.

¿Tiene preguntas sobre qué vacunas necesita su hijo(a)? ¡No está solo(a) en esto! Consulte este recurso útil de la AAP con las recomendaciones hasta los 6 años: https://www.healthychildren.org/spanish/safety-prevention/immunizations/paginas/your-babys-first-vaccines.aspx

This tiny vitamin plays a big role in your and your little one's health: Let's talk about Vitamin B-12! ✨
B-12 is found naturally in animal products. Great sources of B-12 include meat, poultry, & fish; eggs & dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheese); and foods fortified with B-12 (check labels on cereals, plant-based milks, and nutritional yeast)! 🐟🍳🧀
A special note for our vegan/vegetarian families: Since B-12 isn't found in plants, fortified foods or a supplement are often necessary. Talk to your WIC nutritionist—we're here to help! 🫂
You've got questions? We've got support! If you're concerned about your B-12 intake or have questions about your diet, your local WIC clinic is your go-to resource. Let's work together to keep your family thriving. Visit www.signupwic.com to get connected!

Esta pequeña vitamina cumple un papel muy importante en su salud y en la de su pequeño. ¡Hablemos de la vitamina B-12! ✨
La vitamina B-12 se encuentra de forma natural en los productos de origen animal. Entre las fuentes destacadas de vitamina B-12 se incluyen carnes, aves, pescados, huevos y productos lácteos (leche, yogur, queso), así como alimentos fortificados con vitamina B-12 (revise las etiquetas de los cereales, las leches vegetales y la levadura nutricional).🐟🍳🧀
Una nota especial para nuestras familias veganas o vegetarianas: Debido a que la vitamina B-12 no se encuentra en las plantas, a menudo es necesario consumir alimentos fortificados o un suplemento. ¡Consulte con su nutricionista del WIC; estamos aquí para ayudarle! 🫂
¿Tiene preguntas? ¡Podemos ayudarle! Si le preocupa su consumo de vitamina B12 o tiene dudas sobre su alimentación, su clínica local del WIC es el mejor recurso. Trabajemos juntos para que su familia prospere. Visite www.signupwic.com para estar informarse.
