People who are exposed to measles and do not have proof of immunity may have to stay home for up to 21 days. The best way to avoid missing work or school from a measles exposure is to have your vaccine records on hand.

Adults who got their vaccine when they were a child may not have their records readily available, and it may take some time to locate them. By finding your records now, you can be ready in case you are ever exposed to measles.

Las personas que estén expuestas al sarampión y no tengan comprobante de inmunidad pueden tener que quedarse en casa hasta por 21 días. La mejor manera de evitar faltar al trabajo o a la escuela debido a una exposición al sarampión es tener a la mano sus registros de vacunación.

Los adultos que recibieron la vacuna cuando eran niños pueden no tener sus registros fácilmente disponibles, y puede tomar algún tiempo localizarlos. Al encontrar sus registros ahora, puede estar preparado en caso de que alguna vez esté expuesto al sarampión.

Foster parents are welcome at WIC! Nurturing environments and good nutrition are two key pillars for having healthy, happy children. Foster parents provide both for the children they care for. WIC can also support that labor of love. If you are a foster parent of an infant or child up to age 5, you can receive WIC for that child. This includes nutritious items like milk, whole grains, and vegetables. Call the Catawba County Public Health WIC program at (828) 695-5884 for more information about your foster child's eligibility.

Si usted es padre de crianza temporal de un bebé o un niño de hasta 5 años, puede recibir WIC para ese niño. Esto incluye productos nutritivos como leche, cereales integrales y verduras. Llame al programa WIC de Salud Pública del Condado de Catawba al (828) 695-5884 para obtener más información sobre la elegibilidad de su hijo de crianza temporal.
