National Immunization Week

Did you know that immunizations are one of the most successful forms of public health interventions in the modern era?

This week is National Infant Immunization Week! National Infant Immunization Week highlights the importance of protecting infants and young children (ages 2 and under) from serious diseases that vaccines can help prevent. 

Parents and guardians are encouraged to stay on schedule with child wellness visits and immunizations to keep little ones safe and healthy.

Even though children need vaccines to build protection early in life, vaccinations don’t stop once childhood ends. 

Adults also need to keep up with recommended immunizations to stay protected throughout life. Annual flu shots, tetanus boosters, and shingles vaccines are all important for maintaining good health. 

Staying up to date with vaccinations help protect you from serious, life-threatening illnesses.

Vaccines are one of the most effective ways to protect your health, and Moose Pharmacy is here to help provide those immunizations services. 

Moose Pharmacy offers a full range of vaccination services to help keep you and your family healthy such as annual flu shots, shingles vaccinations, Tdap/Td boosters, COVID boosters and more. 

For patients under 18 years old, pharmacists can administer any FDA approved vaccination to children ages 6 and up with a prescription and administer a flu shot or COVID vaccination to children ages 7 and up. 

Pharmacists can also assist you with knowing what vaccinations are due for you and your family as well as information regarding how to manage potential side effects that may occur with vaccinations. 

With all of this information readily available, this can help give parents peace of mind knowing they have a resource at their local pharmacy.

Ask a Moose pharmacist for assistance with your immunization needs and to make sure you’re up to date on all recommended vaccines!
