Don't Forget Your Back To School Vaccines

It's that time again. Everyone is heading back to school and there is much to be done. Even college bound students have more than packing on their agenda. They need to be up to date on their vaccines.

Most schools will either require or strongly recommend Measles, Mumps, and Rubella, Varicella-titer, which is chicken pox or proof of having the disease, Hepatitis B and A Tetanus.

Health officials encourage college-age kids to also be vaccinated against sexually transmitted HPV, Pneumonia, Hepatitis A and Meningitis.

Dr. Olson also advises incoming Freshman to remember to keep their rooms clean to stay healthy.
