Seen from the back, a diverse group of elementary age children in colorful clothes and backpacks are being led by a male-presenting adult through a brightly lit school corridor.

With fairs, sports, and school about to resume, children will be again spending time close together and sharing their germs. Beat the back-to-school rush and get your children’s vaccinations scheduled with their doctor or with us. We offer immunizations for infants, young children, and teens in all of our offices by appointment. Medicaid? Uninsured or your insurance doesn’t cover vaccinations? We can help!

"Fight the bite and West Nile" is written in bold black and orange lettering. A large mosquito is inside the red circle with a slash signifying "no." Two more small mosquitos fly under the large one.

The first Colorado case of West Nile of the year has already been reported. Most people who contract West Nile will not experience symptoms, but a severe case can include seizures, coma, confusion, and some effects may be permanent. The best way to protect yourself from West Nile is to prevent mosquito bites.

Hantavirus has hit the news and you may not have heard of it before. Hantavirus is rare, but dangerous. People are exposed through contact with rodent droppings, urine, and saliva. In Colorado, the most common carrier of hantavirus is deer mice and people are exposed when they clean out spaces where mice have nested. There are safety measures to take when cleaning to reduce chances of breathing contaminated air. Follow the button link to learn more.
