Flu vaccination during pregnancy helps protect babies before they can be vaccinated. It is recommended during any trimester. Talk with your healthcare provider to protect yourself and your baby. #ProtectPreparePrevent #VaxYourFam @vaxyourfam jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Flu can make kids very sick, including those who are otherwise healthy. Those under 5 & with health conditions are at greater risk for serious flu-related complications. A flu vaccine can help prevent serious illness & protect your family & community💙 #ProtectPreparePrevent #VaxYourFam @vaxyourfam

Don’t let the flu be the thing that gives you chills. A yearly flu shot helps protect against flu illness and serious complications, so you have one less thing to fear this season. Ask about your flu vaccine before flu season crashes the party. #AskForVax #VoicesForVaccines #NIAM26

Fever & chills? Missed school days? No thanks. Make the call to your child’s healthcare provider & keep them up to date on their immunizations. A simple call can provide reassurance & help your family feel ready for the first day of school. An easy step for a healthy start. #MakeTheCall #FirstDayVax

You can’t protect your children from everything, but you can protect them from HPV related cancers. The AAP recommends HPV vaccination for kids ages 9-12. Start before age 15= 2 doses. Start at 15+= 3 doses. #MakeTheCall to your child’s healthcare provider & ask about HPV vaccination. 💙🤗#FirstDayVax

While you’re choosing classes, choose your health, too! Contact your healthcare provider to see if you’re up to date on your meningococcal immunizations (MenACWY & MenB). They help protect you and can also stop the spread to the people around you. 📚#FirstDayVax #MakeTheCall

Don’t let the flu pile on. A yearly flu shot helps lower the risk of flu illness and serious complications. Ask about your flu vaccine before flu season chooses violence. #AskForVax #VoicesForVaccines #NIAM26

The U.S. is experiencing more cases of measles. But the power is in your hands to protect your child. The AAP recommends two doses of MMR or MMRV, the 1st at ages 12-15 mos and the 2nd at 4-6 years old. #MakeTheCall to your child’s healthcare provider and check their vaccine status! 📆#FirstDayVax

Back-to-school season comes with a lot to keep track of, but your child’s health doesn’t have to be something you figure out alone. For a little extra peace of mind, #MakeTheCall to your child’s healthcare provider and check that they’re up to date on their immunizations. ✅🥰 #FirstDayVax

Jump scares are for movies. Meningitis doesn’t need a cameo. Ask your healthcare provider about meningococcal vaccines, including MenACWY and MenB, and about the protection recommended by age or risk. #AskForVax #VoicesForVaccines #NIAM26

You're registering for classes, picking your own schedule, doing your own laundry (hopefully). Adding immunizations to the adulting checklist is easy: make a call to your healthcare provider = one less thing to worry about this semester. ✅ #MakeTheCall #FirstDayVax

Apples are 👌, but they don’t always keep the doctor away. Check the box on a healthy school year by making a call to your child’s healthcare provider to see if your kids are up to date on immunizations. It’s easier than getting them to eat all their veggies. 🍎🥦💫 #MakeTheCall #FirstDayVax

Measles can spread faster than TikTok trends, and it’s no joke. The MMR vaccine helps protect against measles, mumps, and rubella. Check your family’s vaccine records and ask if you’re up to date. #AskForVax #VoicesForVaccines #NIAM26
