Immunization is one of the most important things you can do to protect your children. Getting all of their shots gives them the best protection from serious and sometimes deadly diseases.
Every year babies and children still get sick and die from illnesses that vaccines could have prevented such as the flu, measles, meningitis, and whooping cough. Vaccinations help make a child’s immune system strong so they can fight disease.
Make an appointment to catch up on any missed vaccinations as soon as possible. Children who are not protected by vaccines may be more likely to get diseases like measles and whooping cough.
