Bladen County Health Department Recognize NIAM

 

AUGUST is recognized as National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM).

The goal of NIAM is to increase awareness about immunizations across the life span, from infants to the elderly.

Vaccines offer safe and effective protection against infectious diseases.

By staying up-to-date on the recommended vaccines, individuals can protect themselves, their families, friends and communities, from serious, life-threatening infections.

Bladen County Health Department will be holding Immunization clinics for Meningitis and Whooping Cough (Pertussis), at different sites around the county. These vaccinations will target youth, 11-18 yrs. of age. Please call 862-6900 for more information or visit one of the clinics listed. BCHD will be having a KICK-OFF CLINIC on Wednesday, July 28th from 8:30-11:30 and 1:00-4:00. View these websites for information on these infectious diseases and preventive vaccines:
