Auqust is National Inmunization Awareness Month August is a great time to be sure you and your family are current on all your vaccinations. Making sure your immunizations are current can help prevent serious illnesses such as flu, measles and pneumonia. It's important to know which shots you need and when it's best to get them People of all ages need vaccines. With time, immunity from childhood vaccines can fade and you may be at risk for new and different diseases.
