We have recently mailed out over 1500 immunization letters for elementary and secondary children either in need of a vaccine or needing to report their shots.

There are 2 reasons to choose vaccination:

• To protect our children and ourselves- even if we think our chances of getting any disease is small; they do still exist and can infect anyone who is not protected.
• To protect others- when you vaccinate your children, you protect other children and the whole community.

It is important to keep your child’s shots up to date. If they are in need of a shot, contact your healthcare provider.

CK Public Health has vaccination clinics twice a month for anyone needing them, according to the Ontario immunization schedule.
