August  2017
August is National Immunization Awareness Month

Immunizations represent one of the greatest public health accomplishments of the 20th century. The purpose of NIAM is to
celebrate the benefits of vaccination and highlight the importance of vaccination for people of all ages. Did you know:
  • Babies receive vaccinations that help protect them from 14 diseases by age 2.
  • Pre-teens and teens should be vaccinated for illness such as meningitis.
  • Adults should make sure they receive a Td (tetanus and diphtheria) booster vaccine every ten years.
Learn more in the NPHIC website.
