DHHS: Are your children protected against preventable diseases?

LINCOLN – Early April is an exciting but potentially chaotic time for parents with young children as they start the process of Kindergarten Registration. During this time, the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services would like to share a reminder with parents to check if their children are up to date on receiving routine vaccines protecting them against preventable diseases such as chickenpox, measles, mumps, and whooping cough. These diseases still threaten the health of children and the community.
