Celebrate National Immunization Month – Enroll in Florida SHOTS
published by: Kim V.Florida SHOTS helps health-care providers, parents and schools maintain and protect the immunization records that protect Florida’s health
August is recognized as National Immunization Awareness Month, an annual event that promotes the benefits and importance of immunizations across the lifespan. Immunization is the most effective, proven method to prevent certain types of illness. Unfortunately, there are still people in the U.S. who die each year from vaccine-preventable diseases.
The month of August is the perfect time to remind parents, caregivers and health-care providers about the importance of knowing they and their charges are up-to-date on immunizations as they prepare for the return to school, college and the upcoming influenza season.
Florida SHOTS recognizes the importance of keeping immunization records safe, updated and accessible and works with health-care providers, schools and childcare centers throughout the state of Florida to simplify record keeping in a free, statewide online registry.
