Is Your Family Up to Date on Vaccines?

As your children head back to school this fall, make sure vaccination is at the top of your checklist. August is National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM), and this annual observance highlights the importance of getting recommended vaccines throughout your life. You have the power to protect yourself and your family against serious diseases like flu, whooping cough, and measles with vaccines. The CDC’s Interactive Vaccine Guide provides information on the vaccines recommended during pregnancy and throughout your child’s life.

The Department of Public Health encourages you talk to your healthcare provider to ensure that you and your family are up to date on recommended vaccines. For more information, visit visit our Immunizations page.
