August is National Immunization Month. Are you and your loved ones current on vaccinations? Take this quiz to find out. Or, refer to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ immunization recommendations. Vaccination needs vary depending on age and location of residency. International travelers may require additional vaccinations depending on destination. Talk to your doctor if you have questions regarding your personal vaccination history, needs or any screenings that might be recommended for you.
For those of you who are parents, it’s a good idea to make a trip to the pediatrician a part of back-to-school preparations and to ensure your children’s vaccinations are up to date. Plus, it may be helpful to keep a record of your family’s immunization history at home.
