National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM) is a yearly observance held in August with the goal of highlighting the importance of vaccinations for all.
A big emphasis this year, along with educating about the COVID-19 vaccine, is getting back on track with routine vaccinations as well. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted many aspects of people's lives and caused many people to postpone or cancel appointments and thrown off their annual exams and recommended vaccines.
Another reason to be aware, Flu season is also fast approaching. Both COVID-19 and influenza are contagious respiratory illnesses that could spread quickly through your work site – and at the same time. The Centers for Disease Control recommends the flu vaccine to reduce the job-site prospects of getting hit with both viruses.
