First 5 Riverside News, Events & Information

May is Toddler Immunization Month
• This annual observance highlights the importance of fully immunizing infants and toddlers against 14 vaccine-preventable diseases. Vaccination is one of the best things you can do to protect your children. Check with your doctor or nurse to be sure your children are on track with their immunizations.
• First 5 Riverside funds the Riverside County Department of Public Health Immunization Program, which aims to increase the number and percent of children ages 0-5 who receive age-appropriate immunizations to meet the Healthy People 2010 objective. The program includes free, mobile immunization outreach clinics, educational programs, VaxTrack Immunization Registry trainings and Quality Assurance Reviews to improve quality control standards for vaccines in provider offices and other sites where vaccines are administered to children ages 0-5. For clinic times and locations call 1-888-246-1215.

Facilities Assistance Fund
As a result of the community’s great need for increased child care capacity, First 5 Riverside has allocated dollars for a Facilities Assistance Fund for agencies that serve children between the ages of birth and 5 years. This fund is set up to assist agencies to:

1) open a new center
2) expand an existing center, or
3) preserve a center that has a licensing/facility need that must be addressed in order to remain open.

Please see Facilities Assistance Fund for more information.
