August is Vaccine Awareness Month

August is the U.S. national Immunization Awareness Month. This Immunization Awareness Month is simply designed to bring awareness of diseases/illnesses that can be prevented with vaccinations.

Here is a link for the 2023 Immunization Schedule for both children and adults.

Infant immunizations and adolescent immunizations also get special attention during the year.

National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW) was April 24-30, 2023. The CDC and American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend that children 2 years old and younger stay up to date with their immunizations.

Adolescent Immunization Action Week was April 3-7, 2023. Again, this week serves as a reminder to stay up to date with immunizations.

Thank you for your support.
