COVID-19 has caused many disruptions in families’ lives – and in some cases, it has meant that children have missed or delayed their wellness checkups and vaccination, which are a critical part of ensuring children stay healthy. CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend that children stay on track with their well-child appointments and routine vaccinations – even during COVID-19.
Doctors can safely see children, even during the pandemic. Medical offices are taking steps to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and can make sure children are receiving the vaccines they need to prevent outbreaks of infectious diseases.
Garrett County Health Department is taking precautions in the prevention of COVID-19, while allowing our community members to continue to receive services. The Office of Personal Health has reopened weekly immunization clinics on Tuesdays. Feel free to call with any questions regarding immunizations, to have your child’s vaccine records reviewed, or to schedule an appointment for immunizations.
