📢 WHA Families: As the new school year approaches, now is a great time to make sure your children are up to date on their healthcare and immunizations.

The City of Waterbury has updated its list of local pediatric care providers and immunization resources to help families find the care they need.

You can access these resources by visiting the School Nursing or Children's Immunization pages on the City of Waterbury website.
