Introduction
Immunizations protect us from the potentially devastating effects of vaccine-preventable diseases. The germs and viruses that cause vaccine-preventable diseases still exist and threaten communities every day. Vaccines have dramatically reduced the number of people who get these diseases and reduced the potential effects of such diseases.
What if you don't immunize your child?
- Your child will be left at risk of catching a vaccine-preventable disease
- Your child will be a threat to others
- Your child at times must be kept out of school or childcare
How do you protect yourself and your family?
Talk with your doctor about your family's immunization needs. Immunizations are not just for children. Adolescents, adults, and seniors also need certain immunizations to protect yourself and your family from vaccine-preventable diseases.
