Submitted by San Juan County.
With the new school year just around the corner, San Juan County Health & Community Services is making it easier for families to get their children up to date on required vaccines. Throughout August, your local public health department will be holding a series of immunization clinics across the County.
Sign up for an immunization appointment online or call our office at 360-378-4474.
Immunizations are a safe and proven way to prevent serious illnesses like measles, mumps and whooping cough. They also help keep classrooms open and learning on track. Up-to-date immunization records are required for most schools before classes start. This is a great time to ensure your child is ready to start the school year.
You can check your child’s immunization records online through MyIRMobile, with your child’s health care provider or at your local public health office. For a full list of recommended vaccines by age, visit the Washington State Department of Health’s website. If you have any questions about immunizations, our public health nurses are happy to answer them. Call us at 360-378-4474 and ask to speak with one of our nurses. You can also email our immunizations lead nurse at nicoleg@sanjuancountywa.gov. Let’s start the school year strong!
