Routine Childhood Immunizations

Routine childhood immunizations are scheduled vaccines that protect children from serious diseases like measles, mumps, rubella, polio, and whooping cough. These vaccines stimulate the child's immune system to recognize and fight specific germs without causing illness. Administered at various ages, they help ensure children develop immunity early, reducing the risk of outbreaks and long-term health problems. Following the recommended immunization schedule not only safeguards individual health but also contributes to community herd immunity, protecting those who cannot be vaccinated. Regular vaccinations are a critical part of ensuring a child's healthy development and public health safety.
