Las tormentas a veces son subestimadas como una seria amenaza del tiempo, pero pueden ser mortales. Los vientos fuertes pueden convertir las ramas de los árboles y otros objetos ordinarios sueltos en proyectiles peligrosos - ayude a su comunidad a mantenerse segura, recorte los árboles y recoja los objetos sueltos. Los rayos pueden alcanzar hasta unas 10 millas de distancia de la tormenta. Asegúrese de que todos entren a un lugar seguro al primer indicio de un rayo o trueno, y manténgalos adentro hasta 30 minutos luego de la última señal de un rayo o trueno.

Keeping our kids healthy and safe starts with routine childhood vaccines.

Kentucky’s vaccine requirements for school and daycare remain unchanged, with medical and religious exemptions continuing as allowed by state law.

Questions about recommended immunizations? Speak with your child’s trusted healthcare provider or visit chfs.ky.gov/agencies/dph/dehp/Pages/immunization.aspx.

Team Kentucky is committed to protecting the health and safety of all Kentuckians, including by promoting childhood vaccines, which help protect every child’s chance to grow up healthy.

No changes have been made to Kentucky’s vaccine requirements for children to attend school or daycare, and childhood vaccines continue to be covered by insurance in accordance with state and federal law. Medical and religious exemptions are still allowed.
Decades of research show that routine childhood vaccines are safe and effective when given according to the American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommendations. There is no new evidence to support changing the recommended immunization schedule for children.

The Kentucky Department for Public Health encourages families to talk with their pediatrician or other trusted health care provider about recommended vaccines and how best to protect their children and loved ones.
