August is National Immunization Awareness Month, a time to highlight the importance of staying up to date on all recommended vaccines for children, teens, and adults.
At University Medical Center of El Paso, we encourage everyone to take a moment this month to review their immunization records. Whether it’s your child’s back-to-school shots or routine adult boosters, now is the perfect time to make sure your vaccinations are current.
Why Vaccines Matter for Everyone—Including Adults
While childhood immunizations often get the most attention, adults also need vaccines to stay healthy. Immunity from some vaccines can fade over time, and certain vaccines are updated to protect against new strains of diseases, such as the flu.
By keeping your vaccinations up to date, you not only reduce your risk of illness but also help protect vulnerable populations such as infants, seniors, and those with weakened immune systems, who may be more susceptible to serious complications.
