While you’re choosing classes and navigating campus, be sure to choose your health, too. Check with your healthcare provider to see if you’re up to date on your meningococcal immunizations (MenACWY and MenB). These vaccines will help protect you from meningitis and related complications. They can also stop the spread to the people around you. Ace the school year. Make the call. 💪📚📳

🍿🎒 School will be back in session before we know it! 📚☀️

Beat the summer heat and enjoy one last family outing before the school year begins!

The Mitchell County Health Department and Solomon Valley Cinema are excited to partner for a special End of Summer / Back-to-School Event featuring the live-action How to Train Your Dragon!

More than just an action-packed adventure, How to Train Your Dragon shares meaningful messages about finding true strength through empathy, understanding, and courage. It encourages us to look beyond fear, challenge old assumptions, and discover the value of kindness and connection.

Bring the kids, enjoy a great movie, and help us celebrate the end of summer before the first school bell rings. We hope to see you there!

--If your child is 4 yrs of age entering pre-school they will need current immunizations.
--If your child is entering 7th grade they will need current immunizations.
--If your child is over 16 yrs of age entering their Junior year they will need current immunizations.
-- If your child is going off to college it is a great time to make sure they are protected. Make sure to review their records and get them up to date. Men B is often not a required vaccine but great for your child to have.
