📚✨ Oh, the fun we had at CAC this week!

Our team had a Seuss-tastic time celebrating Read Across America and Dr. Seuss Week🎩 with colorful outfits, lots of laughter, and plenty of team spirit. 🐟Our staff showed up in fun styles all week long to bring a little extra joy and imagination into the clinic for the kids and families we care for.

At CAC, we believe reading, creativity, and a little silliness are all part of helping kids grow healthy and strong. 🦊🧦It was such a fun week celebrating together and seeing so many smiles.😃

Thank you to our incredible team for always bringing positivity, kindness, and fun to the work you do every day. We truly have the best team! ❤️

HB2242/SB 5967 allows science and evidence to continue to guide our vaccine purchasing in Washington. Decouples vaccine coverage and state guidance from ACIP/CDC . ❤️

This is vital because new federal recommendations put children and families at risk of decreased access to vaccines and increased risk of PREVENTABLE illness. 🤯The new recommendations are not based on science or data‼️🥼📚
