SIGN THE PROMISE WALL

Ethan promises to get his yearly vaccine in memory of his sister, Gianna, who lost her life to influenza when she was 2 years old. Read Gianna's story here.
Ameia, "Ameia is my 5 year granddaughter and JJ's cousin. She was scared but she got her flu shot today. No one of any age should succumb to the flu, especially children. JJ was almost 3 when he passed away from H1N1. He had undiagnosed asthma which may have made him more susceptible to the flu even though he was vaccinated. We don't know always who is vulnerable to disease so why take the chance? It could be me or some I love or someone you love. STOP the spread and get your vaccine!"
