The Importance of Staying In-The-Know on Immunizations
The annual observance of National Immunization Awareness Month provides us an opportunity to think about how far the development and advancement in immunization science have come, and the impact on public health. It is also a time to highlight the importance of vaccination for people of all ages.?There are many reasons why getting vaccinated can be beneficial such as immunizations can help protect people from vaccine-preventable diseases. Some healthcare facilities, schools, and travel companies still require certain vaccines, while others leave it for self-choice.
?With school starting, it's important to review required immunizations, and check each school district's criteria to see if the child needs a vaccine to return to school, a mask on if otherwise, or if testing is enough. Reviewing records and being prepared for school and travel, will help make sure you stay updated on routine visits and organized to have a good year ahead. When it comes to travel, since June 12, 2022, air passengers will not need to get tested and show a negative COVID-19 test result or show documentation of recovery from COVID-19 prior to boarding a flight to the United States regardless of vaccination status or citizenship.
We are grateful for the science and healthcare system to be researching and developing vaccines to protect everyone and we are also grateful for companies who are giving options to those who prefer to not get vaccinated based on medical reasons or religious beliefs. We do the best we can with what we know and thank the wonderful healthcare providers who are on the front lines to keep us up to date with what is going on behind that microscope to inform us what we can do to stay safe.
