Vaccines are one of the simplest ways to stay healthy and protect the people you love. They prevent illness, protect the vulnerable, and keep our communities strong. National Immunization Awareness Month reminds us that vaccines are not just about staying well today. They are about building a healthier tomorrow.
Why Vaccines Matter
- Prevent disease: Vaccines protect against illnesses like measles, pneumonia, and the flu.
- Protect others: When more people are vaccinated, it helps shield infants, older adults, and those with health conditions.
- Lifelong protection: Vaccines are important at every age, not just for kids.
- Stop outbreaks: Vaccines slow the spread of contagious diseases and protect whole communities.
Safe and Effective
Vaccines are carefully tested and monitored. They are safe for children, adults, and seniors.
How to Stay Protected
- Review your vaccine history with your doctor.
- Stay up to date, including flu and COVID-19 shots.
- Make sure children get vaccines on schedule.
- Encourage family and friends to get vaccinated.
- Share trusted information to fight myths and misinformation.
