Immunizations
Immunizations are an important tool for preventing diseases in the community. They protect the people who receive them, and they protect unvaccinated people by helping stop the spread of infections like influenza, or the flu, measles, whooping cough and chickenpox. Ask your doctor about recommended immunizations to protect you and your family.
Childhood immunizations
One of the best defenses against childhood diseases is to make sure that your child is vaccinated at the right time. Ask your doctor about childhood immunization schedules. Vaccines are available to protect against:
