Why immunize?
Vaccines are made to help you live a longer and healthier life. Stay up to date on vaccinations to protect your family and yourself from many serious and potentially deadly diseases. The goal is to obtain herd immunity, where a large enough portion of the community (the herd) becomes vaccinated to limit the spread of disease from person to person and protect people who are not immune.
Little Extra Boost of Immunity!
In addition to vaccines, you can naturally boost your immune system by eating healthy meals and adding superfoods to your diet.
Examples include berries, fish oil, greens, nuts/seeds, spices, citrus, poultry, and veggies!
These foods contain antioxidants and vitamins such as A, C, and E to keep your body going and your immune system strong.
