World Immunization Week is celebrated globally to raise awareness of the importance of vaccines and how they can protect you from vaccine-preventable diseases, like the flu.
Staying up to date on your immunizations is crucial for your overall health, as well as the health of your community.
Importance of Staying Up to Date on Immunizations:
Vaccines stimulate your immune system to be able to recognize and fight off diseases, which can help you from getting sick. If you get sick after vaccination, your symptoms are often milder, and you are less likely to experience serious complications.
Immunizations are especially important for the community around you to create “herd immunity. This is when a large percentage of a population is vaccinated, which prevents the spread of diseases.
The Overlap of Immunizations and Primary Care: Your primary care doctor at Solara will work with you to tailor treatments or preventative care options such as vaccines to determine what is right for you. If you have any vaccine hesitancy, it is important to discuss these concerns with your doctor.
The flu vaccine is different each year depending on the strain. When you see your primary care doctor they will talk to you about the yearly flu vaccine.
If you have any questions about vaccines or primary care, talk to your doctor. Getting vaccinated could make a huge difference in your health!
