Colorado’s tick season is in full swing. To prevent tick-borne disease, check your clothing and body after you are in grassy, brushy, or wooded outdoor areas for ticks. If you find a tick, remove it with fine-tipped tweezers, pulling upward with steady, even pressure.

🌟 Celebrate National Immunization Awareness Month with Eastern Plains Medical Clinic! 🌟

August is National Immunization Awareness Month (NAIM), a perfect opportunity to emphasize the importance of vaccines for both children and adults. At Eastern Plains Medical Clinic, we focus on family medicine and preventative services to keep our community healthy!
Vaccines play a crucial role in protecting against serious diseases. Here are some of the most common vaccines you should be aware of:

👶 For Children:
DTaP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis): Protects against these serious bacterial infections.

MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella): Essential for preventing these highly contagious viral diseases.

Polio Vaccine: Critical in preventing poliomyelitis, a potentially disabling disease.

Varicella (Chickenpox): Helps protect against chickenpox, which can lead to serious complications.

RSV Vaccine: Newly available to help protect infants and young children from respiratory syncytial virus, which can cause severe respiratory illness.

👩‍⚕️ For Adults:
Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis (Tdap): Recommended every 10 years to maintain immunity.

Influenza (Flu Vaccine): An annual vaccine that helps protect against seasonal flu.

Shingles Vaccine: Recommended for adults over 50 to prevent shingles, a painful rash caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus.

COVID-19 Vaccine: Essential for reducing the risk of severe illness and hospitalization.

RSV Vaccine: Recently approved for older adults to reduce the risk of severe respiratory illness from RSV.

Vaccination not only protects you but also helps safeguard those around you, especially vulnerable populations.
