The Taylor-Jones-Haskell County Medical Society received a national award for its "Vaccinate Before You Graduate" immunization project.
The project won the Health Awareness Promotion Award given by the American Medical Association Alliance. The project involved providing meningococcal vaccine to high school juniors and seniors before they graduate. More than 250 doses of the vaccine have been given in the past year.
The "Vaccinate Before You Graduate" project was one of 31 entries in three categories reviewed by the awards committee.
The honor is the first national award the alliance has received since it was organized in 1917.
