SCHOOL VACCINATIONS AND CHILDREN CATCH-UP IMMUNIZATIONS
-We are open M-F 8am-4pm for school immunizations and any catch-up immunizations your child may need. We are giving college (seniors/12th grade), 7th grade, kindergarten, and all catch-up school vaccinations. Please call the office at 345-1790 for an appointment. Our staff can also look up your child’s vaccine records, review them with you, and print you off a copy.
PNEUMONIA VACCINE CHANGE
-If you are now 50 years old or older (previous was 65 years old and older), you are eligible to receive one pneumonia vaccination.
MMR (MEASLES, MUMPS, and RUBELLA) VACCINATION
- The MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine is recommended by doctors as the best way to protect against measles. In children, the first dose is recommended at 12-15 months old, and the second dose is recommended at 4-6 years old. For people who previously received a dose of measles vaccine in 1963–1967 and are unsure which type of vaccine it was, they should be revaccinated with MMR vaccine. Please call to schedule an appointment or with any questions at 308-345-1790.
RADON TESTING
RWCHD has two state licensed employees who can perform professional continuous radon monitoring in your home at a low cost of $40. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers and the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer in smokers. Elevated radon levels can be found in both new and old homes. You cannot see, smell, or taste radon gas. Testing is the only way to know if you and your family are at risk of the dangers of radon. Call 345-1790 for more information or to schedule an appointment today!
