Back to School

School starts again in August, but parents can get a good report card today by preparing their kids for a healthy school year.


Get Immunized

No decision is more important than protecting your child from childhood diseases.

Students entering school or day care are required by law to have childhood vaccinations. Contact your local health department to find out which vaccinations your child may need.

Students entering school for the first time will need a certified copy of their birth certificate. You can order one through our web site, or contact your county health department or our Vital Records division at 601-576-7981.

Keep it Clean

Returning students will be spending their days in crowded settings where germs can spread easily. Simple precautions can keep kids healthy.

Eat Right

Making the right choices can keep your kids and the whole family healthier.

Get Active

Good health isn't just about eating — physical activity and family involvement are essential.
