Are you and your family up ot date on your immunizations? Vaccines help prevent the spread of infection, including potentially deadly diseases. Now is the ideal time to make sure you are current on your immunization needs, as school is about to begin and flu seasoon is right around the corner.
Many school districts require certain immunizations for children to attend. Check with your school and your doctor to ensure your child has all the necessary and recommended vaccinations for their age group. Also, older children going to college should ensure they are current in their immunizations, as they will be living closely with many people.
Immunizations aren't just for kids! Adults should also check with their doctor to make sure they have had the recommended vaccinations. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all people over the age of 6 months receive a seasonal flu vaccine annually to protect against influenza.
