How do I know if mold is a problem in my home?
You know you have mold when you smell the "musty" odor or see small black or white specks along your damp bathroom or basement walls. Some mold is hidden growing behind wall coverings or ceiling tiles. Even dry, dead mold can cause health problems, so always take precautions when you suspect mold.  More information...
Boil my water during a health advisory?

How can I get a copy of my "shot" record?
There are several ways you may be able to get a copy of your shot record. The best place to start is to contact your doctor, clinic, or the local health jurisdiction that provided the immunizations.

Washington State also has an immunization registry, which is a centralized and secure web-based database of immunization records. Your doctor, nurse, or clinic may have entered a record of your shots in the registry. The registry does not have complete records for every person in Washington State. Contact the CHILD Profile Help Desk at (800) 325-5599 or (206) 205-4141 to find out whether you have shots recorded in the registry.

Once you get a copy of your shot record, keep it up-to-date by bringing the record to every doctor visit. 

Additional Immunization information is available on the Immunization Program Web Site.
Obtain referrals to other agencies and services not listed here.
