Coventry Georgia Health Insurance Brokers McCart Insurance Encourage Immunizations

    NORCROSS, GA, October 23, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- McCart Insurance understands that keeping your family up-to-date on its immunizations is not necessarily fun. Whether it's holding a screaming baby for a shot or keeping track of immunization records to know when it's time for a new tetanus shot, immunizations aren't exactly anyone's idea of a good time. But they are generally covered by your Georgia health insurance and they are important to your health.

Immunizations are generally covered by Georgia health insurance plans because they help contribute to herd immunity. That is, the more people who actively keep up on their shots, the less likely it is that the general public will face a massive outbreak of a preventable virus.

Although National Immunization Awareness Month is now over, McCart Insurance encourages parents and other individuals who have not already done so to review your shot records and get whatever updates are needed. With outbreaks this year of whooping cough, we have seen the unfortunate consequences that can occur when you skip the immunizations covered by your individual health insurance plan.

Most insurers, including Coventry Healthcare of Georgia, would much rather pay for preventative medicine than have to pay for the expensive care and treatment that goes along with these preventable illnesses. Many vaccines are required to attend school, including basic measles and mumps vaccines for elementary school students and meningitis vaccines for college students. Your affordable Georgia health insurance plan can help keep the cost of staying healthy down. Some local public health agencies even provide immunizations at reduced costs or free.

"Many of the childhood illnesses that were devastating just a couple generations ago are now controlled via vaccination," said Tony McCart, CEO of McCart Insurance. "We encourage our clients to help keep them away from the next generation by getting their vaccines."
