While staying in my childhood bedroom on a recent trip my parents’ house, I came across something unexpected: my childhood immunization record. Tucked in with some old board games and school reports, this little piece of paper brought feelings of gratitude, nostalgia, and connection with the work I’ve chosen to do in public health. Each checkmark reminded me of the care behind it: parents, clinicians, and public health professionals all doing their part to keep me — and others — healthy. It’s a quiet but powerful reminder that vaccination is not just personal. It’s a community promise. A simple act that protects us and those around us from preventable illness. As we gear up for a new school year, now is the time to check vaccine records for your kids (and yourself). Back-to-school isn’t just about supplies — it’s about protection, preparedness, and prevention. Have questions or seeking guides for talking about vaccination? Check out our toolkit here: https://lnkd.in/ewS2kG6m Let’s make sure we’re sending students back to class healthy and ready to thrive. ✅ Schedule those well-child visits ✅ Catch up on missed vaccines ✅ Keep records up to date #WeAreNCPublicHealth

This November, take simple steps to protect your home and family: Check your CO detectors, inspect appliances, and never use generators or fuel-burning tools indoors. Know the warning signs. If your alarm goes off, or you feel dizzy or nauseous, get outside fast and call 911. Learn how to stay safe this season: https://lnkd.in/eCZ2it6y
