Maternal Child Program

*RSV Vaccination Clinics – Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a major cause of lower respiratory illness that affects the lungs and airways. Although the virus usually causes mild illness with cold-like symptoms, it can lead to more serious illness for infants, young children, older adults, and those with underlying health conditions such as asthma, chronic heart or lung disease and a weakened immune system.  Families with infants and high-risk children up to 24 months old now have access to the new RSV immunization through the publicly funded RSV prevention program.
