LaSalle County Health Department Encourages Immunization

OTTAWA – The Lasalle County Health Department is encouraging parents to complete all of their children’s school health care requirements and recommendations. Vaccines help prevent serious diseases like measles, mumps, rubella, pertussis (whooping cough), as well as some others.
Debra Hart, Director of Personal Health, “strongly encourages parents to schedule their child’s appointment as soon as possible and avoid waiting until the last minute.  This helps assure that students will enter school meeting the requirements and not risk the chance of exclusion due to noncompliance.”
The Health Department is in the process of opening additional clinic schedules for parent’s convenience. 
LaSalle County Health Department is located at 717 Etna Road, Ottawa.
For immunization information or appointments, call the LaSalle County Health Department at 815-433-3366 x241 or check with your local healthcare provider.
