Families Vaccinating Together

Aiming to ensure healthy households, the Korean Community Service Center of Greater Washington (KCSC) recently held a family vaccination event where both adult and pediatric vaccines were offered. One family in attendance – two full-time working parents and three children at different levels in school – had made multiple attempts to schedule vaccinations. They found it nearly impossible to schedule appointments at times that could work for the entire family. Discouraged, they had needed to put off their vaccinations for a few months. Luckily KCSC’s clinic, which was offered on a Saturday, made it possible for this entire family to receive their vaccines in one day at a convenient location near their home. KCSC will continue to offer clinics through collaborations with County Health Departments or other nonprofit organizations.
