- August is National Immunization Awareness Month
We all need immunizations (also called vaccines or shots) to help protect us from serious diseases. To help keep our local community safe, Cascade Memorial is proudly participating in National Immunization Awareness Month.
August is the perfect time to promote immunizations and remind family, friends, and coworkers to get caught up on their shots. Immunizations (or vaccinations) aren’t just for babies and young kids. We all need shots to help protect us from serious diseases and illness. Everyone over age 6 months needs a seasonal flu shot every year.
Young children:
- Children under age 6 get a series of shots to protect against measles, polio, chicken pox, and hepatitis.
Preteens:
- All 11- and 12-year-olds need shots to help protect against tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough, and meningitis.
- Doctors recommend girls also get the HPV vaccine to protect against the most common cause of cervical cancer.
Adults:
- All adults need a tetanus shot every 10 years.
- People age 65 need a one-time pneumonia shot.
- Talk to your doctor or nurse about which shots you and your family need.
Take action to raise awareness of immunizations:
- Organize a free or low-cost immunization clinic at a local community or health center.
- Create and distribute an immunization tracking card. Include space for people to record the names and dates of their shots along with helpful facts and phone numbers.
- Partner with a school nurse to host an immunization education event for parents at a local school.
- Create and distribute an immunization reminder flyer to all the members of your organization.
- Work with local summer camps to provide tips on the immunizations children need before they attend camp.

Older Americans Month is an occasion to show appreciation and support for our seniors as they continue to enrich and strengthen our communities.
This year’s theme—Older Americans: Connecting the Community—pays homage to the many ways in which older adults bring inspiration and continuity to the fabric of our communities, and highlights how technology is helping older Americans live longer, healthier, and more engaged lives.
The U.S. Administration on Aging is sponsoring two exciting activities in observance of Older Americans Month 2011, a video challenge and a video game tournament. We welcome and encourage the participation of seniors and community members across the country.

- Eating Well on a Budget
[From Aging in Stride eNews]
Four grocery shopping tips to protect your health and your wallet
Concerned that rising food prices may lead Americans to pinch grocery pennies by skipping healthful vegetables and fruits, experts at the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) recently outlined four ways shoppers can make budget-friendly choices without sacrificing health at the supermarket.
Although higher fuel prices and recent cold snaps that hurt the harvest mean many Americans are paying more for food, “Shoppers can still choose a wide variety of vegetables and fruits and keep their budget lean,” said Alice Bender, AICR Registered Dietitian. “By comparing prices, doing a bit of meal planning and staying flexible, Americans can fill up their grocery carts with healthy foods—and save money while they’re doing it.”
AICR’s advice for making low-cost but healthy choices is based on recent data from the USDA’s Economic Research Service comparing the cost of vegetables and fruit on a cup-for-cup basis.
Click here to read the rest of the article and for some great tips!
For More Information
March is National Nutrition Month. Sponsored by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic Association), this event focuses attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits. Visit the academy’s EatRight.org website to learn more about this event and to download a free guidebook, Eating Right for Older Adults.
