Immunizations

Why Are Immunizations Important?
Immunizations are a critical part of preventive healthcare for children. They protect against a range of serious, potentially life-threatening diseases such as polio, measles, mumps, rubella, and whooping cough. Vaccines strengthen the immune system, preventing infections and reducing the risk of complications from these diseases.

How Immunizations Work
Vaccines work by stimulating the body’s immune system to recognize and fight specific viruses or bacteria without causing the disease itself. Once vaccinated, the body remembers how to respond to future exposures to those diseases, providing lasting immunity.

Immunization Schedule
At each well-child checkup, we ensure your child receives the appropriate vaccines based on their age and development. The vaccination schedule is carefully structured to provide timely protection during the most vulnerable stages of growth, ensuring your child stays protected against harmful infections.

Creating Community Immunity
Immunizations not only protect your child but also contribute to public health by creating herd immunity. When a large portion of the population is vaccinated, it helps protect those who cannot be vaccinated, such as infants, pregnant women, or individuals with certain health conditions. By staying up to date with vaccinations, you are helping to create a healthier, safer environment for everyone.
