Important back to school reminder from @ImmunizePA!
We are helping @MenBAction with an important message for all of you getting ready for back to school! Even if school is virtual this year, don't forget vaccinations. Talk to your provider about all recommended vaccines including MenACWY and MenB. #bteamwashere #meningitisb

Check on your child's back to school vaccinations. If you have a teen don't forget to ask about MeningitisB. My story on a mom who lost her 17 year old to it. Most don't know there are TWO meningitis vaccines now @KimCFoundation
