Helping new parents, families, and community members when they have questions about vaccines or how to access them to ensure their health and protection is the work we do daily. We do this through our coalition partners, health fairs, community clinics, and healthcare providers.
Getting a flu vaccine is never too late, even this far in the season.
February is here and the peak of winter seems to be coming to its end- unfortunately not the same can be said for the 2019-2020 flu season. Nevada has recently been placed within the categories of high and moderate on the CDC’s Influenza Like Illness map which compares flu-like activity of all 50 states.
As we head into 2020 - 25 years of promoting health and preventing disease is a BIG deal, so we have 25 ways you can celebrate - that also help Immunize Nevada.
Our “virtual” Big Shots celebration is this Friday and to kick off the countdown, we’re highlighting all the amazing nominated community members, healthcare partners, and vaccine advocates chosen by their peers in recognition of their commitment to promoting health and preventing disease across Nevada.
In addition to helping us promote health and prevent disease, participants have the time of their lives! But don't take our word for it, here are some thoughts from those who have raced with the dragons!
