Fall is my favorite time of the year! Because of pumpkin picking, the leaves changing, Halloween, and family gatherings for the holidays! But you know what else? It’s also time to get vaccinated! Going back to school, the cold weather, and traveling for the holidays can increase risks of catching a virus. What do vaccines do for you? Vaccines will help you shield your body and train your body to fight germs. Do you only get vaccinated once? No, because viruses can change and evolve over time. Getting annual vaccinations will “update” your body to be prepared to fight annual viruses and infections. If you aren’t sure if you need to get vaccinated, make sure to check in and clarify with your doctor.
