🍎Don’t Forget the MOST Important School Supply!🍎

✅ Crayons
✅ Notebooks
✅ Backpack
❗ Immunizations

Vaccines are required for school and protect against preventable diseases that still make kids very sick every year.

💥 : The HPV vaccine prevents over 90% of HPV-related cancers—and it’s recommended starting at age 9!
💥: In communities with high vaccination rates, even people who can’t get vaccinated (like infants) stay safer—that’s herd immunity in action!

🏥 Your local health department is offering back-to-school vaccinations—no long waits, no hassle!

📞 Call now and check “vaccines” off your school prep list!
