August is National Immunization Month

"

August is National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM), and AFC Urgent Care Bedford would like to encourage you to stop in for a hassle-free checkup to ensure you and your family are up to date on your vaccinations. Immunizations are important for people patients 1 year or older and help prevent countless, often deadly, diseases. Vaccines are administered to stimulate your immune system so should you come in contact with that disease, your body is better prepared to fight it off.

Vaccinations Save Lives

In today’s world, many of the deadliest diseases can be stopped in their tracks by a preventative childhood vaccination. Shots are a safe way to protect kids from diseases such as polio, the measles, meningitis and more. These vaccinations are important for your child’s health, and now, you don’t have to go through the hassle of booking in with a general practitioner to receive those shots; visit an AFC Urgent Care Bedford to be promptly treated by a qualified professional at your convenience.

Don’t Forget Those Booster Shots

Many people believe that after the initial round of shots as a young child, they are set for life. That is not the case in many circumstances. Some shots need boosters to maintain effectiveness. Some colleges even require specific immunizations to enroll. Stop in AFC Urgent Care Bedford and make sure you are protected and up to date.
