Immunizations

The book has an Immunization Schedule. It is important to keep your children’s and your immunizations current. How many of you know that adults should get a tetanus booster every 10 years? How many of you have had a tetanus shot within the last 10 years? Check with your doctor or local health department regarding other immunizations and when you should have them, such as annual flu vaccines, a pneumococcal vaccine (if you are over 65), and hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccines.
