PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — The Department of Health is reminding South Dakotans that vaccination is important to protect adults from diseases that can cause serious health problems.

The agency said Tuesday that residents need to remember that vaccinations aren’t just for children.

The department says its reminder is part of recognizing August as National Immunization Awareness Month.

Barbara Philips is a nurse educator for the department’s immunization program. She says people never outgrow the need for immunizations.

The department says adults should speak with health professionals about which vaccines they should get.
