PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, Immunizations protect against deadly diseases and save
health care costs. Our great County of Saginaw can be proud to be
part of the Nation's success in raising immunization rates to an
all-time high. The incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases is
at an all time low compared with epidemics in the past. However,
much community work is required to sustain this effort. There are
still too many children in this County who are not getting
immunized on time; and,
WHEREAS, Research shows that diseases such as measles, whooping
cough, and rubella could have been prevented with proper
immunization. Together we need to educate parents and care givers
about the importance of timely immunizations, encourage health
care providers to improve access and consistency of immunization
services and seek long-term changes that will ensure full
immunization status of all citizens of Saginaw County.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Robert L. Fish, Chairman of the Saginaw County
Board of Commissioners do hereby proclaim the week of April 16,
2001, as: IMMUNIZATION AWARENESS WEEK in the County of Saginaw and
in so doing encourage business, government agencies, community
based organizations, and service groups to spread the immunization
message throughout their communities. I also encourage public and
private health care providers, parents and children's care givers
in Saginaw County to become partners in the health of all citizens
by ensuring early and on time immunization against vaccine
preventable diseases.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the
seal of the County of Saginaw to be affixed this 16th of April in
the year of Our Lord two thousand and one.
Sincerely,
SAGINAW COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
