The Lux at Medford Emphasizes National Immunization Month This August

MEDFORD, N.Y. - Aug. 13, 2014 - PRLog -- With August being National Immunization Month, The Lux at Medford would like to remind the public how vital it is to stay current with the proper vaccines and shots as required by the Center for Disease Control (CDC). This is even more critical for our nation’s seniors, who are unfortunately at a higher risk of receiving communicable diseases.

For this reason The Lux at Medford , Medford’s extra-large rehab suite, recommends everyone receive the flu shot and other vaccines against serious diseases such as measles and tuberculosis.

It is important to talk to friends and family and spread the word about the importance of immunizations. Many assume that vaccines are only for kids, while nothing can be further from the truth. Adults 65 and older need to get a special shot to prevent pneumonia.
