Regular check-ups to the doctor can be of value to both children and adults. Immunizations are your best defense against disease. Children need to keep up to date on their immunizations as well as adults. Tetanus and influenza are a few vaccines that are available to adults.
It is important to keep track of immunization records for both children and adults. In addition, if traveling abroad, contact your doctor to get the proper immunizations needed so you are protected from diseases that you may encounter. Immunizations are the best defense!
