AUGUST IS IMMUNIZATION AWARENESS MONTH the perfect time to promote immunizations and remind family, friends, and coworkers to get caught up on their shots. Immunizations (or vaccinations) aren’t just for babies and young kids. Everyone age 6 months and older needs a seasonal flu shot every year. Some shots people need at different ages: •Young children (under age 6) should get a series of shots to protect against measles, polio, chicken pox, and hepati-tis. •Pre-teens and teens (age 11 or 12) to help protect them from tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough, meningitis, and HPV (human papillomavirus). •Teens need a booster shot at age 16 to help protect them from meningitis. •All adults need a booster shot every 10 years to protect against tetanus and diphtheria.
