Message from Monroe County Schools Nurses: Be Up-to-Date for Georgia's Required Vaccines
|
|
School-age children - from preschoolers to college students - need vaccines. Getting your child all their vaccinations on time is one of the most important things you can do as a parent to ensure your children's long-term health-as well as the health of friends, classmates, and others in your community.
The Georgia Immunization Program has
online resources and tools to help you make sure your kids are up to date on recommended vaccines and protected from serious diseases. Use the
childhood vaccine quiz to see what vaccines your child needs, at any age. If you find out your child needs any vaccines to protect them against any of the 16 serious diseases, schedule a visit with your doctor to get caught up.
What All Parents Need to Know
To keep children in schools healthy, Georgia requires children to get vaccines against certain diseases before going to school. If you're unsure of Georgia's school requirements, now is the time to check with your child's doctor, your child's school, or your
local health department.
