This annual observance highlights the importance of getting recommended vaccines throughout your life. You have the power to protect yourself and your family against serious diseases (like whooping cough, cancers caused by HPV, and pneumonia) through on-time vaccination.
Learn more about what vaccines may be recommended for you and talk with your healthcare provider to ensure you and your family are up to date on recommended vaccines.
Vaccines reduce your risk of infection by working with your body's natural defenses to help safely develop immunity to disease.
Beginning in October, My Health Onsite nurses will be visiting campuses to provide flu vaccines to Pasco County Schools employees. Appointments are necessary. This program is available at no cost to all insured and non-insured employees. Click here to view the full schedule.*

Monthly Challenge: Mindfulness!
- Limit time on electronic devices to allow yourself to be present in moment.
- Take ten minutes every day and focus solely on yourself. You can't help anyone else if your tank is already running on "empty."
- Focus on something that might be considered unexpected beauty in the world:
- Listen to the birds sing in the morning
- Enjoy the sounds of rain falling
- Pay attention to all of the green in the world around you - Let go of negative thoughts.
