(KLZA)-- It is back-to-school season and time for parents to make sure children are up to date on vaccines.
Vaccines protect against a number of serious and potentially life-threatening diseases that still exist. When children are not vaccinated, they are at increased risk for diseases. These illnesses can spread to others in their classrooms and community, including babies who are too young to be fully vaccinated, and people with weakened immune systems due to health conditions.
Chris Eltiste, Immunization Nurse with the Southeast District Health Department says getting children all of the vaccines recommended by the CDC is one of the most important things parents can do to ensure a healthy future for their child.
Most schools require children to be up to date on vaccinations before enrolling or starting school in order to protect the health of all students.
The Southeast District Health Department offers immunizations by appointment for un-insured or underinsured health adults and children. You may contact them in Auburn by calling toll-free 877-777-0424,
