Note the above screen shot of the United States Department of Health and Human Services and how it references a not to distant devastating pandemic of the flu.
Many families were tragically affected by what may have felt like a plague had struck their small communities. Through consistent and reliable usage of immunization programs by parents and children alike we can do our part to try to decrease the occurrence of these devastating pandemics.
