It is an honor to be your Post Surgeon. My mission is to provide you with information on various health topics. Geri Seiter-Martinez, MSN, RN Vaccinations are an effective way of preventing life-threatening illness by boosting your body’s natural immune responses to a virus or bacteria. The vaccination works with your own body’s natural defense to help you build resistance to the infection and to make your immune system stronger. Vaccines contain a weakened or killed form of the virus or bacteria. Always discuss with your primary care provider or nurse which vaccines are best for you to receive. If you obtain vaccines outside your health care network, provide that information to your primary care team. I cannot stress the importance of receiving your vaccinations in a timely manner. Staying up to date on your vaccinations reduces the likelihood of adverse outcomes, such as hospitalizations, disabilities, and death.
