Immunization Awareness Month
August is Immunization Awareness Month
August is National Immunization Awareness Month, and we want to emphasize the importance of staying up to date with your vaccinations. Did you know every $1 spent on childhood vaccinations saves up to $44 in healthcare costs by preventing illness and hospitalizations?
Vaccines are essential for protecting your health and the health of those around you, preventing diseases, and reducing the spread of infections.
Vaccines are not just for children—adults need them too! Here is a snapshot of vaccines important for adults:
1. Flu Vaccine: Annually, preferably before flu season (all adults, especially those 65+)
2. Pneumonia Vaccine: One vaccine followed by a second 12 months later (adults 50+)
3. COVID-19 Vaccine: Varies (all ages)
4. Shingles Vaccine: Two-dose series (adults 50+)
5. Tetanus Vaccine: Every 10 years (all adults)
6. RSV Vaccine: One-time dose (adults 60+)
7. Gardasil Vaccine: Three doses (ages 9-45)
If you have questions or need assistance scheduling an appointment, call your MedNOW Clinic. Your health is our top priority.

Thank you for taking care of your health!
We are excited to announce that beginning November 3, 2025, our Thornton location will begin seeing pediatric patients under the care of Frank Baldwin, PA-C. Frank Baldwin is a certified Physician Assistant specializing in general pediatrics. As the son of an Air Force serviceman, Frank grew up moving often but ultimately attended high school in New England. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Johns Hopkins University and his master’s in physician assistant studies from Salus University. With over 12 years of experience, Frank has developed a deep passion for working with children with developmental and behavioral diagnoses, including ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). He is dedicated to integrating mental health into primary care and advancing nutrition and obesity prevention initiatives. Outside of medicine, Frank enjoys the outdoors, hiking with his partner, and spending time with his cat, Jojo. A lifelong basketball fan, he has also been a Denver Nuggets season ticket holder for the past decade. Frank’s philosophy of care is simple but powerful: “To collaborate with parents as partners in their children’s health, treating every patient with respect and providing quality, accessible medical care.” We are thrilled to welcome Frank to the MedNOW team and to expand our services to better meet the needs of families in our community. Pediatric appointments with Frank Baldwin, PA-C, will be available starting November 3, 2025. To schedule, please contact our Thornton office at (720)769-6828.
