Immunization Awareness Month
August is Immunization Awareness Month
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.
Vaccines are not just for children—adults need them too! Here is a snapshot of vaccines important for adults:
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)
6. RSV Vaccine: One-time dose (adults 60+)
7. Gardasil Vaccine: Three doses (ages 9-45)

Diabetes is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by high blood sugar, and understanding it is essential for health. There are two main types: 1. Type 1 Diabetes: An autoimmune disease diagnosed in childhood, requiring lifelong insulin. 2.

Prevention and Management Type 2 diabetes can often be prevented or delayed with these strategies : • Healthy Eating: Regulates blood sugar. • Exercise: Essential for managing weight and blood sugar. • Regular Check-ups: Vital for monitoring blood sugar and overall health. • Stress Management: Helps control blood sugar. • Quit Smoking: Reduces diabetes risk.

He earned his bachelor’s degree from Johns Hopkins University and his master’s in physician assistant studies from Salus University.

Outside of medicine, Frank enjoys the outdoors, hiking with his partner, and spending time with his cat, Jojo. A lifelong basketball fan, he has also been a Denver Nuggets season ticket holder for the past decade. Frank’s philosophy of care is simple but powerful: “To collaborate with parents as partners in their children’s health, treating every patient with respect and providing quality, accessible medical care.” We are thrilled to welcome Frank to the MedNOW team and to expand our services to better meet the needs of families in our community.
