It’s almost time for the kids to go back to school, and the Berrien County Health Department is reminding parents to make sure their kids are up to date on their vaccines. Spokesperson Gillian Conrad says that the state requires children to have several of them before going to school or a daycare. Sometimes, parents are surprised to learn that haven’t met the requirements.

Listen:

The health department has all of the vaccination records, so it can tell you if your child has the right ones. It also can provide advice on whether to get vaccinations, and waivers for those parents who want their kids to skip some, or the vaccines themselves, usually at little or no cost.
