August is National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM), a reminder that vaccines play a vital role in protecting health at every stage of life. Staying up to date with recommended vaccines helps reduce the risk of serious illness and provides protection not only for ourselves but for those around us.

For individuals who are pregnant, vaccines are especially important. The flu shot is safe during any trimester and helps protect both the mother and baby from serious flu-related complications. Getting vaccinated during pregnancy also provides newborns with important early immunity.

Have questions or want to schedule your flu shot? Call Family Health Center of Worcester at (508) 860-7700.

August is National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM)—a reminder that vaccines protect our health at every age. Staying up to date with recommended immunizations helps reduce risks from serious diseases and supports long-term wellness.

For older adults, vaccines are especially important as the immune system naturally weakens with age. One critical protection is the shingles vaccine, which helps prevent painful complications from a virus that most adults have carried since childhood.

Have questions about vaccines for yourself or a loved one? Call Family Health Center of Worcester at (508) 860-7700 to learn more or schedule an appointment.

August is National Immunization Awareness Month, a time to highlight how vaccines protect people of all ages from serious diseases. For children, routine immunizations are especially important—they help build strong immunity early and keep kids healthy as they grow.

Vaccines like the MMR provide critical protection against illnesses such as measles—a highly contagious illness that can cause serious complications in young children.

Need help keeping your child on track? Call Family Health Center of Worcester at (508) 860-7700 to schedule an appointment.
