As families anticipate another new school year, student registration and shopping for required supplies often top the to-do list. In addition, parents and guardians in Illinois need to ensure their student is up to date with the minimum required vaccines.
Protect Your Child
Vaccines work by helping the body’s immune system recognize and fight certain diseases before they can cause serious illness. Children who are vaccinated are less likely to become sick or suffer serious health consequences from vaccine-preventable illnesses. This not only reduces the risk of missed school days but also provides your child with enhanced immunity, all day, every day.
