August is National Immunization Awareness Month, and we want to emphasize the importance of staying up to date with your vaccinations. Did you know every $1 spent on childhood vaccinations saves up to $44 in healthcare costs by preventing illness and hospitalizations? Vaccines are essential for protecting your health and the health of those around you, preventing diseases, and reducing the spread of infections.

1. Flu Vaccine: Annually, preferably before flu season (all adults, especially those 65+)

2. Pneumonia Vaccine: One vaccine followed by a second 12 months later (adults 50+)

3. COVID-19 Vaccine: Varies (all ages)

4. Shingles Vaccine: Two-dose series (adults 50+)

5. Tetanus Vaccine: Every 10 years (all adults)
