National Infant Immunization Week is the perfect time to learn about the vaccines your baby needs!
Some diseases that are prevented by vaccines, like pertussis (whooping cough) and chickenpox, remain common in the United States. Other diseases are no longer common in this country because of vaccines. However, if we stopped vaccinating, even the few cases we have in the United States could very quickly become tens or hundreds of thousands of cases.
Learn about the 14 diseases childhood vaccines prevent.
Is your baby healthy? Great! But that doesn’t mean she won’t ever get sick with a vaccine-preventable disease. Get your child immunized on time, every time.
Learn about the recommended vaccinations for infants and children and when they should be given.
How do bacteria and viruses make a child sick? How do vaccines work with your child’s immune system to fight infections? What should parents expect after their child’s vaccine visit?
