It's Time To Vaccinate



August is back-to-school time for most kids. One red-letter item on each parent’s to-do list should read: vaccinations. They’re of great value to help keep many illnesses from spreading between students from kindergarten to college age. Following a regular vaccination schedule to immunize your child can protect them and others from diseases including:

  • Diphtheria
  • Hepatitis A
  • Hepatitis B
  • Hib disease (Haemophilus influenza type b)
  • Influenza (Flu)
  • Measles
  • Mumps
  • Pertussis (Whooping Cough)
  • Pneumococcal Disease
  • Polio
  • Rubella (German Measles)
  • Tetanus (Lockjaw)
  • Varicella (Chickenpox)

Most states need proof of vaccinations before students can go to class. It’s up to parents to get their kids to the doctor for their shots before school starts.

Find out the rules for your state, city, school district or college (note: you can find Illinois Department of Public Health’s listing here: http://dph.illinois.gov/topics-services/prevention-wellness/immunization). Your children’s school should be able to provide you with a list of required shots. And don’t forget, colleges require students to be vaccinated too.

If you’re an adult, you are not immune to getting vaccinations. Immunizations are readily available for a number of common adult illnesses, and your doctor can let you know what immunizations are needed to keep you healthy.

Follow these guidelines to keep preventable diseases at arm’s length:
  • Tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (Td and Tdap) immunizations should be given to adults at 10-year intervals throughout your life.
  • Adults born after 1956 who are not immune to measles, mumps and rubella should be immunized.
  • Women ages 26 or younger should be immunized against human papilloma virus (HPV), the virus that causes cervical cancer.
  • All adults ages 65 or older, as well as persons ages two to 64 years who have diabetes or chronic heart, lung, liver or kidney disorders need protection against pneumococcal disease, and should consult their health care providers regarding the pneumococcal vaccine.
  • Influenza vaccination is recommended for all adults ages 50 years or older, women who are pregnant during flu season, individuals who have a chronic illness (like diabetes, heart disease or asthma) and residents of long-term care facilities.
  • Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B vaccines should be given to people in high-risk groups or who travel to countries where these diseases are common.

  1. It was during my research on HIV/Herpes that I stumbled upon the Hiv/Herpes information; information which is quite easy to find when doing a search for STD on google. I was into conspiracy at the time thought of HIV/Herpes Cured' being a conspiracy was something Ignorance though,I found pretty interesting about herbal medicine. I asked questions about the Herbal cure's on official HIV/Herpes websites and I was banned for doing so by moderators who told me that I was parroting Hiv/Herpes propaganda.

  2. Health is the only thing you have, that when it is gone, you really, really miss it ... so does your family and friends. Remember, it is better to see your health doctor when you are healthy ... not when you are not healthy. This is a warning about 'disease' doctors not 'health' doctors. diabetic chick fil a
