This National Immunization Awareness Month, Protect Your Health — So You Don’t Miss the Moments That Matter. 

August is National Immunization Awareness Month, and a reminder that vaccination is your best protection against severe illness due to respiratory diseases like flu, COVID-19, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), pertussis (whooping cough), pneumococcal disease, and measles. 

While National Immunization Awareness Month is a timely reminder of how important vaccines are for your health, it’s essential to remember that vaccinations work year-round to protect people of all ages — especially those at higher risk — from severe respiratory illness. 

Vaccines also help you show up for the moments that matter. Whether it is spending time with friends and family, going to school or work, or keeping up with the hobbies you enjoy, vaccination is a preventative measure to help keep your life uninterrupted.
