A Message from Our President
August has arrived. We are nearing the end of summer vacation, the return to school, the change in the seasons. A change in seasons often brings a
change in the weather and exposure to different illnesses. As the kids go back to school, they are

exposed to more germs. They bring those home, and it begins to spread. It’s important, with such changes and exposures, to make sure your household is up-to-date on all immunizations, especially children and elders. Young children and elders are more susceptible to illness and disease; their immune systems are not as robust as adults. Immunizations provide us with protection against all kinds of diseases - measles, mumps, rubella, the flu, pneumonia, chicken pox, shingles etc. Many of these had high mortality rates before these vaccines were developed. Vaccines help keep us safe and healthy. Enjoy the rest of your summer, and visit our blog as we head into the autumn season for more information on local immunization stations. ~ Lisa Gradzewicz

A Message from our Vice President
Wow! August is here already! Pretty soon we’ll be seeing the leaves changing. Flu season will be here
before we know it. With August being National
Immunization Awareness Month, I encourage you all

to make sure you current with all your recommended vaccines. It will help your health and those around you. Meanwhile, enjoy the rest of this summer season! Make sure to continue wearing your sunscreen, sunglasses and prevent the UV exposure. Stay safe and stay healthy!
