August is National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM), and it’s the perfect reminder that prevention is power. Staying on track with vaccines is one of the simplest, most effective ways to protect yourself and those you love from preventable diseases that can interrupt your health, work, and everyday life.
Why Vaccines Matter for Lifelong Wellness
Vaccines are more than just a medical recommendation they’re a cornerstone of long-term health.

Common recommended vaccines include:
- Influenza (Flu)
- COVID-19 boosters
- Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis (Tdap)
- Shingles
- Pneumonia
- HPV
- MMR, Hepatitis A & B, and others based on age and risk
Back-to-School and Back-to-You
