August is National Immunization Awareness Month!

Vaccines can help keep you from getting or becoming seriously ill with a disease. They protect you from many diseases, like the flu, diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis B, COVID-19, shingles, and pneumonia. People who get some of these diseases can pass them to others, so vaccines can also help protect other people.

Some people have a higher risk of becoming seriously ill from these diseases, especially older adults, children, and people with chronic illnesses. Vaccines are important to help prevent serious diseases in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), those on dialysis, and immunocompromised people, such as kidney transplant recipients.

This National Minority Donor Awareness Month (NMDAM), learn how an organ donor saved Joe Mansaray’s life.

Joe went from being a star on the soccer field to a patient awaiting a life-saving transplant when he was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in high school. Thanks to a donor hero’s generosity, Joe received a new heart and is back to playing soccer and will graduate from college next spring with a social work degree.

“Every day, that donated heart beats inside of me, and I’m so thankful,” Joe says.
NMDAM is celebrated throughout August to increase organ donor registrations among communities of color, which make up 60 percent of the national transplant waitlist. You can help give people like Joe a second chance at life and honor Gift of Life’s 50 years of saving lives by registering as an organ donor.
