Protect You and Your Family During National Immunization Awareness Month
Did you know a baby gets disease immunity from mom during pregnancy? When a pregnant woman gets a flu or whooping cough immunization, her body will create protective antibodies and pass some of them on to the baby before birth. This immunity can protect your baby from some diseases during the first few months of life, but immunity decreases over time. Before your baby is born, protect both of you with vaccines.
August is National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM). During NIAM, we encourage you to talk to your doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider to ensure you and your family are protected against serious diseases by getting caught up on routine immunizations.
