National Immunization Awareness month is the perfect time to remind family, friends, and coworkers to get caught up on their shots.

Officials at the Houston County Health Department say it's important for all ages.

Children younger than six need to get a series of shots to protect against measles, polio, and chicken pox.

Preteens need shots to help protect against tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough, meningitis and h-p-v.

Adults need a tetanus shot every 10 years and people at the age of 65 should get a one-time pneumonia shot.
