Why Are Immunizations So Important?
Immunization is the process of becoming vaccinated to prevent diseases. These diseases can be very serious, and getting vaccinated can give you a better immune response. Vaccines don't just protect you; they also protect the people around you through community immunity. Vaccines are completely safe for your child, and your pediatrician can give you all the information you need to make informed decisions about your child's health. You can even work with your doctor to create a vaccination schedule that works for your needs.
