August is Immunization Month

Immunizations allow our bodies to develop antibodies to fight against various diseases like hepatitis, pneumonia, influenza, measles, mumps, rubella and chicken pox, just to name a few.  Timely immunizations are important for infants, teens, adults and health care workers.  August is the time to get caught up on immunizations. Go to www.cdc.gov/immunizations to check out immunization schedules for all ages and health care workers.
