August is National Immunization Awareness Month and Ashley Regional Medical Center is encouraging residents to check on immunization records and be sure your family is up to date. “Of all the things we have learned throughout this historic time, the one fact that perhaps can have the farthest-reaching impact for each of us individually and collectively is that our health means everything,” shares Dr. Timothy Tappana. “It has always been true but perhaps never truer than now. We have been reminded of how fragile our health can be and how essential it is to do all that we can to protect it so that we can enjoy the things we love and take advantage of all that life has to offer…Immunizations are recommended for all ages, from birth through senior adulthood. Following recommended vaccination schedules can help ensure that you and your family stay healthy and protected from preventable serious disease.” To read the entire message from Dr. Tappana, visit www.ashleyregional.com/news.
