Children are often prone to becoming unwell during early years as their immune system is still developing. Whilst it’s hard to stop your child from becoming ill, the below information will help you avoid some nasty bugs and manage what illnesses your child may encounter living in HCMC. Illnesses like the common cold, conjunctivitis and hand foot and mouth disease do not have vaccinations and, although these illnesses rarely cause serious symptoms, children should still be kept home from school until not infectious. For further information on how long your Child should remain off school, contact the Wellness Center on:
