Give them a healthy start to adulthood!
Most of us know how important it is to vaccinate infants and children. Thanks to childhood immunization, the risk of getting diseases has been
greatly reduced. What you may not know is that adolescents also need vaccination to protect them from a variety of diseases. While some
vaccines received as an infant provide long-term protection, the protection provided by other vaccines wears off over time. Adolescents may
also need other vaccines. Learn More...

What is the latest West Nile virus news?
WNV requires warm weather to amplify the virus in birds and mosquitoes, before the numbers of viruses become high enough to be dangerous
to other animals and humans. The risk to humans increases in late summer as some birds start to migrate, leaving hungry infected mosquitoes
behind. In order to maximize limited resources, virus testing will start later in the summer than previous years. WNV testing of dead
birds will start July 1st, 2008 and be limited to the types of birds highly vulnerable to the virus.
