[Kim Tarantino]

SENIORNAVIGATOR E-QUICKTIP: August 7, 2007
August is National Immunization Awareness Month

It is often thought that immunizations are just for children; however, some vaccines are even more important for seniors. In fact, people 65 years and older, as well as persons living in long-term care facilities, are at high risk for complications from the flu.  The good news is that the flu can usually be prevented by getting vaccinated each fall.  To learn more visit the following link.
