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)

December is Flu Vaccination Awareness Month. Did you know that approximately 500,000 people are hospitalised due to flu-related complications in the U.S. every year? Influenza is a common respiratory disease that spreads easily. While most people are only sick for a few days before they get better, some people can get very sick and stay sick for a long time, even people who are in perfect health. The best way to fight against this disease is to receive your annual flu shot. Flu shots are safe, quick, easy, and an important step in keeping yourself healthy during the flu season. If you have yet to schedule an appointment to receive your flu shot, we highly encourage you to do so at your earliest convenience. To book your flu shot appointment, please call your MedNOW Clinic, or you can schedule your appointment online through our website! If you have any more questions regarding the flu shot, the CDC provides excellent information. If you need assistance scheduling your appointment, call your MedNOW clinic. Our staff members are always willing to help! Thank you for taking care of your health!
