Many employees may be confused about where to find information on what vaccines they and their family need to stay safe. Read below for guidance from Balanced You, in partnership with Public Health – Seattle & King County.
Washington State Department of Health
Washington State Department of Health (DOH) reviews evidence-based recommendations, clinical data, and other relevant information from trusted medical and public health organizations to draft vaccine recommendations for Washingtonians. Recommendations are reviewed by the State Medical Epidemiologist, State Health Officer, and State Secretary of Health before being finalized, published and distributed.
These recommendations guide best practices that help families make the best choices for their health, help to maintain access and insurance coverage for vaccines, provide consistent clinical guidance for healthcare providers, and ensure communities across Washington remain protected from serious vaccine preventable diseases.
