August 2026 is Immunization Awareness Month

Vaccines aren’t just for kids, they play an important part of staying healthy at every age. Vaccines help protect against serious illnesses like measles, whooping cough, shingles, and even some cancers. And it’s not just about protecting yourself. Getting vaccinated helps to protect people who are too young, too old, or medically unable to get certain vaccines.

The Department of Aging and Disabilities and the Commission on Disability Issues are proud to support the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) 36th Anniversary.

On July 26th we celebrate this important civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public. The purpose of the law is to make sure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else.
