Back-to-School Vaccinations

In addition to a good diet and exercise, children and teens need to stay up-to-date with their vaccinations. Different vaccines are necessary at various ages, and are required when going to day care, school, and college. Confirm your children have received the protection they need by checking the Children's Vaccination Schedule. Contact your physician or call the Gila County Health Department at (928) 402-8811 to schedule necessary vaccinations.
