August is National Immunization Awareness Month , and we want to emphasize the importance of staying up to date with your vaccinations.

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. If you have any more questions regarding vaccines and immunizations, the CDC provides excellent information.
