Here's
a message from the Converse County Public Health
Office... Wyoming immunization laws require
children entering kindergarten to be up to date
on several immunizations, and incoming 7th
graders need a tetanus booster. These
immunizations are free of charge. Failure to get
them may result in the child being excluded from
school in the fall. Please call the Converse
County Public Health Office at 358-2536 for more
information.
