Child Vaccinations

Vaccinating your child on time throughout his or her childhood is essential because it helps young children build immunity before they are exposed to potentially life-threatening diseases such as chicken pox, measles, mumps, and even the flu. Some parents have concerns about vaccinating their children; however, vaccines are tested to ensure that they are safe and effective for children to receive at the recommended ages.

Vaccine-preventable diseases include:

Chickenpox
Diphtheria or DTap
Hib
Hepatitis A and B
Flu
Measles
Mumps
Pertussis, commonly known as Whooping Cough
Pneumococcal or Pneumonia
Rotavirus
Rubella
