Adult Immunization Schedule 2018
August is National Immunization Awareness month, sponsored by the National Public Health Information Coalition and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In an effort to promote the importance of immunizations, we have put together a succinct immunization schedule for adults by age, based on the CDC's recommendations. For more, visit the CDC’s website.
National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM) is an annual observance to highlight the importance of vaccination for people of all ages. Vaccines protect against serious diseases. These diseases still exist and outbreaks do occur. Vaccines are recommended throughout our lives and are very safe. Ensure your patients are up to date with their immunizations.
