🔹 Ask your provider about vaccines recommended for travel or your workplace
🔹 Keep a record of your immunization history for easy reference

Brain injuries can affect anyone, at any age, and their impact often extends beyond the visible symptoms. Changes in memory, concentration, mood, communication, and daily functioning can continue long after the initial injury.
