Protect Yourself and Others
One way you can build your health literacy is by learning about preventive services that can lower your risk of getting sick. Preventative care helps your doctor find diseases and medical problems before they can become major. Preventative services include annual check-ups, vaccinations, as well as certain tests and screenings.
The updated COVID-19 vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and others from COVID-related illness. Rockford Ready encourages residents to take the time to learn more about this widely available service for residents 6 months and older.
