Your child's health is your top priority.
Children are exposed to germs every day. Babies are born with immune systems that can fight a lot of germs, but some germs cause serious illness and disease that can put your baby at risk of being hospitalized, having lifelong health problems, or even dying. Because a baby’s immune system is not fully developed when they’re born, babies face a greater risk of becoming infected and getting seriously ill. That’s why we need the help of vaccines. Vaccines help teach the immune system how to defend against germs. Immunization protects your child by helping build up their natural defenses.
You know your child best. That’s why it’s important to talk to a healthcare provider about which vaccines are best for your child.
