National Immunization Awareness Month 2025

National Immunization Awareness Month

August is National Immunization Awareness Month 

And guess what else is around the corner?

Yep—BACK TO  SCHOOL

• New backpacks?  Check.
• Fresh sneakers?  Check.
• School supplies that somehow cost $187?  Double check.
• Well-child checkup + updated immunizations?

...Let’s make it a TRIPLE check.

August is the perfect time to schedule that pediatric visit.  Not only is it thoughtful planning, it’s literally protecting your child—and everyone around them—from preventable illnesses like measles, whooping cough, and meningitis.

Let’s be real:

• Germs love a good classroom.
• Herd immunity is real.

And your child’s shot record shouldn’t be a mystery wrapped in a manila folder from 2017.

Pro tip: Most schools require updated immunization records for enrollment anyway.  Getting ahead of it now = fewer last-minute panics and more time for first-day-of-school selfies.

So, whether your kiddo’s starting Pre-K, middle school, or heading into senior year—make sure they’re walking in with the full armour of modern medicine.

This August, let’s celebrate Immunization Month by doing what matters most:

Protecting the health of our kids, our schools, and our communities.

• Call your pediatrician.
• Update those records.
• Start the school year STRONG.
