Stay protected, stay healthy, and get informed this National Immunization Awareness Month with tips and guidelines from Lori Solomon, M.D. ’99, M.P.H. ’09, chair and associate professor of family and community medicine.
National Immunization Month Tips and Guidelines
1. The influenza vaccine will be available at the end of August or beginning of September.
2. For those worried about pain or fever after an immunization, a dose of ibuprofen at the time of vaccination may help with symptoms and does not decrease the efficacy of the vaccine.
3. Everyone over six months should receive an influenza vaccine.
4. Anyone over 50 should get the shingles vaccine, which consists of two doses and is available at the Family Health Center.
5. Most people can wait until October or November to get the influenza vaccine, but people with asthma should come in earlier.
6. All children who receive vaccines in New York State have their vaccines recorded in a state immunization registry, which can be searched by a physician to see what immunizations the child needs, even if a different practice administered previous vaccines.
7. Adults can have their immunizations sent to the state immunization registry with their consent, providing an easy way to keep all vaccine records in one place, especially since care is often fragmented.
