Nutrient Highlight - Vitamin A
Vitamin A is famous for its role in keeping our vision sharp, but it’s also a superstar for overall growth, embryo development, and a strong immune system.
The good news is that Vitamin A-rich foods are often at their peak during the colder months! Think of those bright orange and dark leafy greens: carrots, sweet potatoes, winter squash, spinach, and collard greens.
Your WIC benefits make it easier to bring these healthy, colorful foods to your family's table. Reach out to WIC for more information and nutrition tips for your family: www.signupwic.com/find-a-clinic

National Influenza Vaccination Week - December 6-11

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
