We know you are busy. Prevent sick days by getting vaccinated! Talk to your doctor about what vaccines you may need.

[Dallas County Health Department @DallasCoHealth]

There are different forms of immunity. With natural immunity our bodies learn from infection with a disease. With acquired immunity our bodies learn from a vaccine. Immunity through vaccination is safer than becoming infected.

Did you know you can prevent cancer! Thanks to vaccines for HPV and hepatitis B we can prevent several kinds of cancer including cervical and liver cancer.

[Dallas County Health Department @DallasCoHealth]

Vaccines stimulate our body's immune system so that we are ready to respond against harmful diseases.

Severe flu and pregnancy don’t mix. However, because our bodies change during pregnancy, we are at greater risk for severe illness that can hurt both us and baby. Reduce the risk of severe illness, get a flu shot this fall!
