Immunizations
Keeping your baby's shots up to
date is a very important factor to
your baby's health. Immunizations or
vaccinations are given from birth
into early childhood. Immunizations
are usually given during routine
"well baby" checkups. If you are not
able to afford immunizations, all
communities will have a clinic where
you can get your baby's shots for
free or a very reduced price. DO NOT
neglect to get these shots, you
baby's life depends on it.
The American Academy or
Pediatrics recommends that babies
receive a variety of immunizations
at certain intervals. Each community
has their own standards as well.
These standards usually coincide
with recent outbreaks, etc. Check
with your doctor or clinic to see
what and when your baby's shot needs
are.
Immunization is not an option it
is a necessity. Immunize your baby! |
