It's National Influenza Vaccination Week! 🩹💪

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! Our WIC and Immunization teams are here to help.
