Parents: Plan Now for Fall School Immunizations The Allegany County Department of Health would like to remind parents of school and college-age children to plan ahead to get your children vaccinated before school starts this fall. “There are different vaccinations required based on a child’s age. If you don’t have a copy of your child’s current vaccinations, you can check with your child’s doctor’s office or the school to get a copy and to find out what vaccinations are needed for this fall,” said Brittney Schuld, Director of Patient Services for the Allegany County Department of Health.
