Waterview Nursing & Rehabilitation Center Honors National Immunization Month This August

Flushing, NY, August 15, 2014 --(PR.com)-- As August is National Immunization Month, Waterview Nursing & Rehabilitation Center reminds the community how vital it is to stay current with the proper vaccines and shots as required by the Center for Disease Control (CDC). This is even more critical for our nation’s seniors, who are unfortunately at a higher risk of receiving communicable diseases.

For this reason Waterview Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, Flushing’s fastest growing nursing home, recommends everyone receive the flu shot and other vaccines against serious diseases such as measles and tuberculosis.

It is important to talk to friends and family and spread the word about the importance of immunizations. Many assume that vaccines are only for kids, while nothing can be further from the truth. Adults 65 and older need to get a special shot to prevent pneumonia.

Waterview Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a premier 180-bed skilled nursing and comprehensive care facility serving the healthcare needs of Flushing, New York. Services include exceptional short-term rehab for individuals coming from an acute-care setting, long-term care, an Alzheimer's/Dementia program and more. Waterview's highly trained team of physical, occupational and speech therapists carefully tailor unique recovery programs for each resident.
