Due to the ongoing measles outbreaks across the country and around the globe, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has updated their guidance for vaccination for Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) for individuals less than 12 months old who are at high risk of exposure to measles.
MMR vaccine can be given to children as young as 6 months of age who are at high risk of exposure such as during international travel or travel to a community where an outbreak has been declared.
Looking forward to colorful blossoms on Bluffton's Main St.? The 2025 Bluffton Beautification program will provide and maintain flower pots and hanging baskets in the downtown area. The flowers are made possible by donations from businesses, organizations and families.

1) If you are asked by anyone to purchase gift cards and send them to someone, take a picture of them and send the picture to someone etc. (ANYTHING WITH GIFT CARDS) even if you "know" the person making the request, always check with the person that requested them. There is a good chance the request will come from someone you "know" but in reality, a bad actor is pretending to be that person you trust. Scammers will use phone calls, text messages, emails and USPS to run these scams.
2) Never click on links in emails that you receive unless you are expecting the email and you know that it is a legit email from someone you know or a business you trust. There are so many instances of people's computers and other electronic devices being hacked because of clicking on links. If you question whether the email is legit, contact the person or business sending the email before proceeding. If you hover your cursor over the link on a computer you will be able to see the address that the link is going to take you to. If it doesn't match the sender never click on the link.
