August
is National Immunization
Awareness
Month
We
all need shots (vaccines) to help protect us from serious diseases.
This protection is called immunization. You
have the power to protect yourself and your family from dangerous
vaccine-preventable
diseases
such
as measles, pneumonia, influenza, and
tetanus.
Vaccines are safe and effective and
work with your body’s natural defenses to develop immunity to
disease. Getting vaccinated at the recommended time is the best way
to prevent serious diseases.
Everyone
age 6 months and older needs to get a flu vaccine every year. Other
types of shots work best at specific ages or life stages.
Visit
the CDC website below to help determine what vaccines are recommended
for your child.

the link below to determine what vaccines you may need as an adult.
Talk
to a provider
at Patient Centered Care
to make sure everyone in your family has
received
the shots they need to
stay safe and healthy!
