As Natl Assoc of School Nurses Pres. Lynn Nelson MSN, RN, reminds us, staying up to date on recommended vaccines is important for a successful school year. Before school starts, call your child’s healthcare provider to check that their vaccinations are up to date.
The pacing & combination of vaccines is based on the times when vaccines will work best with children’s immune systems & when they are most vulnerable to the diseases that vaccines protect them from. Talk to your family doc or pediatrician if you have questions about vaccines.
Food pantries in our community are struggling to source enough fresh fruits and vegetables to keep up with demand. If you have extra produce from your home garden, you can go ampleharvest.org/find-pantry… a non-profit website where gardeners can find information about where to donate.
