Be


Wise And Immunize


By Tyrra B Meserve
Greene Publishing, Inc.
 Gearing up for the end of
summer and the start of the
new school session has never
been easy, but thanks to the
Madison County Health De-
partment's "Be Wise Immu-
nization Festival," parents now
have one less headache to deal
with. On Saturday, August 2,
the Health Department hosted
their second annual immuniza-
tion festival with excellent re-


sults. Between dunking booths,
face painting and door prizes,
getting shot has never been so
much fun.
 "The turnout was spectacu-
lar," shared Donna Davis, who,
in addition to being the LPN
orisite giving shots, was also
the door prize ticket caller.
 S Marcial Lopez III was one
lucky winner who was glad he
came down, when he drew a
Spider Man toy after receiving
his physical. He and his sister,


Marical, were both allowed to
chose from a variety of prizes
for their participation.
 Dr. Robert Campbell joined
the Health Department on Sat-
urday for the immunization
marathon, along with two of
his students from FSU College
who helped with physical.
With the aid of the nurses on
staff, 26 physical were com-
pleted and well over 100 shots
were given out.
 "We would really like to


send out a special thank you to
all of the Madison County
businesses and volunteers who
lent their support," said Tam-
mey Revels; Health Depart-
ment Billing Administrator,
and, on occasion event photog-
rapher. "Everybody did a great
job and had a lot of fun."
 Thanks to Ken's, Tri-Coun-
ty Electric, MCCB, McDon-
ald's, Madison Police Depart-
ment, Farm Bureau, Wild Ad-
ventures, Winn-Dixie, Nestle


Waters, Dexter Sharper of
Sharper's Bounce Houses and
More, and the Junior Auxil-
iary, for their generous contri-
butions to the effort.
 With the school season just
around the bend, Saturday's
festival should have Madison
students up-to-date and ready
to learn, with more than just a
shot in the arm to help them
on the way, for all those that
know to "bee wise" and immu-
nize.
