WIC wants to reward parents for getting their childrens
shots on time.
We now have immunization screeners who will assess your
childs immunization record each time they come in to WIC.
If they are up-to-date for their age, you will receive a
small gift. This program is only for children under 2 years of age, since that is
when most childhood shots are received. Gifts are provided in partnership with Wal-Mart
and Fred Meyer.
We will be entering you childs immunization information
into our computer system, which will automatically send you a postcard when theyre
due for their next shots.
