August is National Immunization Awareness Month, an opportunity for people of all ages to make sure they are protected against dangerous and deadly diseases.
While the main focus is generally on babies and school aged children when it comes to vaccines, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention wants to remind us that adults need to make sure they are immunized as well.
Many adults may not believe that they need vaccinations, but people aged 65 and older are at a higher risk of complications from preventable diseases.
