Get Immunized

Vaccinations can significantly reduce your risk of illness. Immunization against common respiratory illnesses helps protect you and those around you. Be sure to meet with your primary care physician to discuss the whooping cough vaccine. If you don’t have a primary care provider, you can find one here.
