September is Sepsis Awareness Month. This annual observance offers a critical opportunity for individuals, healthcare professionals and community partners to help save lives by raising awareness of this serious condition. Sepsis, the body’s overwhelming and toxic response to infection, kills over 350,000 adults in the U.S. every year. While sepsis can impact anyone, some groups have a higher risk of contracting this serious infection, including older adults and those with a weakened immune system. Through public education, we can raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of sepsis so people in our communities know when to seek emergency care.

FACT: COVID-19 vaccines do not contain any virus, so there is no risk of accidental infection. Instead, the vaccine uses a specific protein to mimic COVID-19 and activate your immune system. After that, you will already be prepared if you encounter the virus. bit.ly/3UO27bL #COVID19 #Vaccination #StaySafe #Coronavirus #Healthcare #VaccineTruthAdvocate
