Did you know YOU probably aren’t up to date on your vaccines? Have you had your boosters?? Do you even KNOW if you’ve had your boosters?
Many vaccine-preventable deaths occur in adults, mainly due to low vaccination rates. Adults tend to skip the necessary vaccine boosters due to inconvenience/cost/ignorance and studies show that nearly 30% of adults refuse vaccinations when presented with the opportunity to get them.
Around 35% of physicians do not even offer boosters to adults just because they believe insurance companies won’t cover them. Some insurance companies won’t cover them.
Vaccinated adults, as well as vaccinated children, play a huge part in stopping the spread of disease. We vaccinate our children. Why don’t we make sure we vaccinate ourselves?
