Vaccination 101

Even though we're all still squeezing the last bit of fun out of summer, changes are coming. School, cold weather and yes, people getting sick. One way to keep from getting sick is vaccines. Vaccines have change a lot -- even in the years between the birth of my oldest child and my youngest. new ones added, old ones changed, boosters for teenagers. It's enough to make your head spin. If you have questions about vaccines stop by one of two presentations on vaccines for children and adults, when to get them, what they do and -- the question on so many of our minds -- who will pay for them.
