There’s been a lot of talk about COVID-19 vaccinations lately. But let’s not forget the routine shots that are recommended for everyone. Are you (and your kids) up to date?

Call the MNPS Health Care Centers at 615-259-8755 for an appointment.

Are your kids current?

Public schools require kids to get certain vaccinations at various ages. Common childhood vaccines include measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, HPV, meningitis and more. Here’s a schedule of recommendations by age. (Remember, the HPV vaccine is recommended, but not required by schools. Be sure to talk to your provider about it.)

Vaccines aren’t just for kids!

As an adult, skipping age-appropriate vaccinations can leave you vulnerable to illness and put others at risk. Depending on your age and health, you might need boosters for childhood immunizations, HPV, shingles, pneumonia, flu and more. See recommendations here.  

Roll up your sleeve

You have a number of options for getting needed shots: 

• The MNPS Health Care Centers carry school vaccines, including HPV. 
• Our Kroger pharmacy in the Employee Wellness Center carries a full line of vaccines, including flu, shingles, Tdap/Td, meningitis, pneumonia and more. (We don’t carry the COVID-19 vaccine, but most other pharmacies do.)
• If you have a primary care provider in the community, they can provide most common vaccinations.

It's very helpful if you can bring your immunization record with you to your vaccination appointment. Most vaccinations received in Tennessee are entered into the state immunization registry, so it's possible your provider can tell you what you need if you're unable to get a copy of your record from your pediatrician or PCP.
