It's that time of year again! As this school year winds down, it's time to start scheduling your child's back to school vaccines. Our school nurse, Erica, sent home vaccines reminders for children who will need vaccines before entering school again next year.

Students who are on track with vaccines typically need to update vaccines before entering Kindergarten, 6th grade, and 12th grade. If you are unsure of your child's vaccination status, give our office a call- we can check the state vaccine registry.

Don't wait until July, get them out of the way now! Call our office @ 618-445-2615 to schedule an appointment! We do welcome walk-ins but appointments help us ensure we have the appropriate stock of vaccines.

**Looking for rural women in RURAL Illinois to share their stories about breast & cervical cancer screening!**

Do you know a woman in rural Illinois who isn’t up‑to‑date on breast or cervical cancer screening? Many women want to get screened but face real barriers—and sharing her story could help change that.

A team at the University of Illinois at Chicago is conducting one‑on‑one Zoom interviews with women age 40+ living in RURAL or NON-URBAN Illinois counties to better understand why screenings get delayed or missed, and what would actually make it easier to stay up‑to‑date.

If this sounds like you, someone you love, or clients that you work with, they would be grateful to hear from you.
