August is National Immunization Awareness Month

August is National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM). This annual observance highlights the efforts of BrightStar Care® of Delray Beach to protect patients of all ages in the greater Delray Beach, Boca Raton, and Boynton Beach area against vaccine-preventable diseases through on-time vaccination.  During NIAM, BrightStar Care® encourages you to ensure you’re up to date on recommended vaccines. Even if you got all your vaccines as a child, the protection from some vaccines can wear off over time. Vaccination is important because it not only protects the person who gets the vaccine, but also helps to keep diseases from spreading to others, like family members, neighbors, classmates, and other members of your communities through herd immunity. Children and the elderly are usually at the most risk, which makes Back to School time perfect for spreading awareness. Research consistently shows that healthcare professionals are the most trusted source of vaccine information for parents and patients, so call us 24/7 at 56.921.0550 today to find out how you can make this year, your healthiest and safest!
