For the Community

Protect yourself and your family

Immunizations are the best way to protect you and members of your family and community against many diseases. Recommended immunizations begin at birth and continue throughout one's lifetime, with special emphasis on children under age 2.

Immunization during Pregnancy

Newborns are especially vulnerable to certain diseases, and expectant mothers should receive certain vaccines to protect the newest members of their family.

Additionally, if you get the flu or COVID-19 during your pregnancy, you can become much sicker than nonpregnant people who get these infections. Vaccines can keep you healthy during your pregnancy.
