Issue #4 The Monarch News August 2010
August is National Immunization Awareness Month
August is recognized as National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM). Immunizations are equally important from infants to the elderly. August is a great time to remind your loved ones, to update their immunizations, as most families are preparing for the school year and the upcoming flu season.
Why are immunizations important?
Immunization is one of the most significant public health achievements of the 20th century. Staying up to date on your vaccinations will protect you from most preventable illnesses.
When are immunizations given?
Because children are particularly vulnerable to infection, most vaccines are given during childhood. Other immunizations are recommended during adolescent or adult years and, for certain vaccines, booster immunization are recommended throughout life for continued protection.
