Important Health News - August | |
National Immunization Awareness Month
When you go through "Immunization", it means you become immune to a disease. Becoming immune means you can't get the disease anymore!
Why Immunization?
- Prevent Illness
- Spend less time sick
- Strengthen the immune system
- More cost-effective than treating illness once contracted
- Immunizations are often necessary for school attendance, college admission or traveling abroad
We now have vaccines to prevent more than 20 life-threatening diseases, helping children and adults live longer, healthier lives. CHDC offers immunization services! To learn more, Click Here.
