Obtaining the proper immunizations is a key factor in sustaining the health of servicemembers, military retirees and their families. The military's immunization awareness program mirrors National Immunization Month, which is observed across America each August. This month is a good time to remind adults to check their children's shot records, as well as their own, because school will soon begin and the flu season follows soon afterward. Are you up to date on your shots? For more information on needed immunizations, visit the MILVAX website.
