Protect the Health of Your Child.
Young children are most vulnerable to serious illnessess and diseases. Newborns receive some natural immunity from their mother, but it quickly fades. That is why it is very important to protect the health of your young child by making sure they receive all their immunizations on time.
The good news is that immunizations work. Most of us have never seen anyone with polio, diphtheria, or other vaccine-preventable diseases thanks to the protection vaccines provide. When a vaccine is introduced and widely used, the disease often fades quickly.
