This year, the Denton County Immunization Coalition has partnered with Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of Greater North Texas for the “Immunize for Healthy Lives” Campaign. The education and awareness campaign focuses on the importance of proper and timely vaccinations of school-aged children. The campaign also encourages parents to not wait until the start of the school year to get their child vaccinated.
This year marks the fourth year the campaign has been conducted in North Texas. Other local partners include Immunize Kids! Dallas Area Partnership, Dallas County Health and Human Services, Denton County Health Department, Tarrant County Public Health, Denton County Immunization Coalition, and Collin County Health Care Services.
The campaign will include distribution of more than 650,000 trayliners in local McDonald’s restaurants. The trayliners will promote each of the seven health partners’ back-to-school immunization efforts, the immunization schedule and provide contact information for the local healthcare partners.
