With some schools already in session and others just about ready to start, let's talk vaccinations.

Dr. Steven Mumbauer recommends Influenza, Human Papillomavirus, Tdap and Varicella.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now suggests that all children ages six months to 18 years be vaccinated for the flu.

HPV is recommended for females between ages 11 and 26 to prevent the most common cause of cervical cancer.

Tdap, previously a tetanus booster, also contains a whooping cough booster. It's given to ages 11 and 12.

Varicella vaccinates against chicken pox and is now recommended in a second dose at four to six years of age.

Epidemiologist Deborah Bundy-Carpenter adds that a minimum of three doses of Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis are needed, along with Hepatitis B, Measles, Mumps and Rubella and a minimum of three doses of Polio vaccine.

For anyone keeping tabs on allergens in the area, ragweed and nettle will push levels to high in Harrisonburg for Thursday. While Staunton and Waynesboro both will see medium-high levels with ragweed and grass as the predominant pollen.
