More about the Bee Wize Immunize Campaign:
|
|
The Bee Wize — Immunize
campaign was developed to provide immunizations to all families, with or
without insurance. The objective is to immunize 90 percent of all children
by age 2. Studies suggest Kane County's immunization rate to be 65 to 75
percent.
There are several locations where parents or guardians can bring their
children to be immunized. Twenty-five partners have collaborated to provide
services during the day or evening throughout Kane County.
All of the childhood diseases are serious and many are contagious, requiring
hospitalization and resulting in loss of work time for parents. All babies
by age 2 need to visit a doctor or clinic for immunizations at least five
times to be protected against dangerous diseases, including diphtheria,
rubella and measles.
