Subject: Media Release: Health Department Promotes Childhood Immunizations
To:


*Topeka, Kan.* –. Many families’ routines were disrupted throughout the
past year because of COVID-19 – including having regular checkups and
receiving recommended vaccinations.

The week of April 24 – May 1 is National Infant Immunization Week and the
Shawnee County Health Department (SCHD) is taking this opportunity to
encourage Shawnee County families to check with their doctors and review
immunization records to ensure that their children are all caught up on
recommended vaccinations.



Immunizations are available at the SCHD by appointment for children 18
years of age and younger. *Appointments may be scheduled by calling the
SCHD – Immunization Clinic at 785.251.5700.*



Children must be accompanied by a parent/guardian and everyone entering the
building over the age of 2 must wear a mask. Masks will be available at the
building entrance.

Please bring only those needed to receive vaccinations in order to help
limit the number of individuals in the facility at a time.



If an individual is in need of their vaccination records they may call SCHD
– Medical Records at 785.251.5621
