Washington County health officials are encouraging parents to make sure their children's (and their own) immunizations are up to date. Individuals can see their health care provider, go to their school-based health center, or consider attending one of several immunization clinics taking place across the county over the next several weeks.

"Being up to date on vaccines is one of the best ways to protect yourself and your children from harmful and potentially deadly diseases like measles and whooping cough," says Dr. Christina Baumann, deputy health officer for Washington County. "Plus, vaccines don't only protect you or your child," she adds. "By getting vaccinated, you are helping to stop the spread of vaccine-preventable diseases in our community. You are protecting the vulnerable among us, like babies and those with weakened immune systems who can't be immunized."

Neighborhood Health Center will hold an immunization clinic on Saturday, October 17, from 9 a.m. –2 p.m. at 17175 SW Tualatin Valley Highway in Aloha. Vaccines for children ages birth through 18 will be available. Flu vaccines may be available, depending on supply. Walk-ins accepted, or schedule an appointment by calling 503-848-5861.
