Shots for Tots News
February 2013, Issue II
Greetings! The Cleveland County Immunization Coalition (CCIC) is a local organization with a mission to promote immunizations and reduce vaccine preventable diseases. The CCIC partners with local healthcare providers, childcare providers, schools, health departments, and community services to increase immunization rates and educate professionals and the community on the safety and importance of vaccines.
We have created this bi-monthly e-newsletter aimed at childcare providers, with a goal of giving you brief seasonal information regarding immunizations and healthy activities, snacks and articles. We hope you find this information helpful and easy to use.
The CCIC meets monthly and are always looking for new members who have a desire to work with us on our mission! If you are interested in finding out more about us, please see the “for more information” section at the end of the newsletter. Enjoy!
February is American Heart Month
According to the Center for Disease Control about 715,000 Americans have a heart attack each year. About 600,000 people die from heart disease in the United States each year—that’s 1 out of every 4 deaths. There are many ways to prevent heart disease, but studies show that if we start these methods early in life, we are more likely to stick to them.
What can I do to get – and keep – a child active? Encourage young people to be physically active for one hour or more each day. Here are some ways you can do this: Set a positive example by leading an active lifestyle yourself. Make physical activity part of your daily routine by playing active games together regularly. Make physical activity fun! Fun activities can be structured or non-structured. Activities can include walking, running, skating, playground activities or free-time play. Give children equipment/toys that encourages physical activity. Be positive about the physical activities in which the child participates and encourage them to be interested in new activities. When possible, take young people to places where they can be active, such as public parks, community baseball fields or basketball courts. Be safe! Always provide protective equipment such as helmets, wrist pads or knee pads and ensure that activity is age-appropriate.
