Please have it completed and updated, and return to us for your childs file August is National Immunization Awareness Month: Immunizations to keep your child healthy As a parent or family member, you may get upset or concerned when you watch your baby get three or four shots during a doctors visit. But all of those shots add up to your baby being protected against 14 infectious diseases. Young babies can get very ill from vaccine-preventable diseases. The vaccination schedule is designed to protect young children before they are likely to be exposed to potentially serious diseases and when they are most vulnerable to serious infections. Vaccines reduce the risk of infection by working with the bodys natural defenses to help it safely develop immunity to disease. Vaccine-preventable diseases can be very serious, may require hospitalization, or even be deadly - especially in infants and young children. Your childs doctor can guide you in determining what vaccines your child needs and when she needs them. Visit the Center for Disease Control websites Parent section (cdc.gov/vaccines/parents) to learn more about the importance of having your child fully vaccinated, age-specific vaccine information, and how you can get help paying for vaccines. )
