National Immunization Awareness Month

From the August 2018 Benefits eNews

Immunizations aren’t just for kids headed back to school! Adults are no exception when it comes to staying up to date on your vaccinations. The vaccines a person needs are based on their age, medical conditions, occupation, and vaccines they have received in the past and other factors. 

Older adults and adults with chronic health conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart disease and diabetes are at higher risk of suffering complications from certain vaccine-preventable diseases like flu and pneumonia.

Taking the CDC adult vaccine quiz is one way to find out which vaccines you might need.
