Buncombe County Reminder: August is Immunization Month

Buncombe County -- August 1, 2024: It's Immunization Awareness Month! Let's boost our health and protect our

community’s strength. Together, we can defeat diseases and build a healthier future for everyone!

Schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider to stay current on vaccines. They are also available at Buncombe County’s Immunization Clinic at low or no cost.

A Shield of Protection       

What you do matters! Getting immunized throughout your lifetime protects you, the people you love and our community against harmful diseases.

Immunizations are a shield of protection for our entire community. They protect us against deadly diseases like Polio, Measles, Mumps, and Hepatitis. When more people in our communities get immunized, we have a strong shield of protection against vaccine preventable diseases. When people do not get immunized, cracks begin to form in our shield, putting infants, the elderly, and people with low immunity in danger of getting sick. Simply put- immunizations work, but it takes all of us to create a strong shield of protection in our community.

Talk to your doctor or call the Immunizations Clinic at 828-250-5096 with any questions you might have about immunizations or to find vaccination records.
