REMEMBER ...
       THE ONLY 100% EFFECTIVE METHOD AGAINST 
                       SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES/INFECTIONS IS ....   
​                                                                                                      ABSTINENCE.

August is National Immunization Awareness Month 

Infections that are prevented by preteen vaccines, like HPV, can lead to serious health problems later in life. The immunization schedule is designed to provide immunity early in life, before children are likely to be exposed to serious, potentially life-threatening diseases. View the CDC's parent-friendly immunization schedule to see which vaccines your children need, whether they are babies or teenagers: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/easy-to-read/child-shell-easyread.html
