Childhood Immunization

Childhood immunization is the process of giving vaccines to children to protect them from various infectious diseases. Vaccines work by stimulating the immune system to recognize and fight specific germs without causing the disease. Immunizations are typically given at scheduled visits during a child's early years and can prevent illnesses like measles, mumps, polio, and whooping cough. By ensuring children are vaccinated, we help safeguard not only their health but also the health of the community, as widespread immunization can prevent outbreaks and protect those unable to be vaccinated, such as infants or individuals with certain medical conditions.
