Immunization Schedules Aren’t as Daunting as They Look
Having a simple, easy-to-follow immunization schedule can ease the stress of first-time parenting. Our immunization guides outline schedules closely following your child's growth and development, so you can be confident and focus on what truly matters.
First-time parents, or parents of newborns, may find themselves overwhelmed by the amount of information available for their child's health and well-being. A detailed immunization schedule for your child can ease your anxiety as you introduce your newborn to the world.
Pediatricians recommend that infants and young children receive specific vaccinations to protect against illnesses that can be deadly. Parents, however, may not realize that there is a detailed schedule in which these immunizations should be administered. In fact, many parents follow an immunization schedule set by the hospital where their baby was born even though a new child has entire childhood ahead of them, and the vaccination schedule should change as they age.
While some parents opt to avoid childhood immunizations altogether, doing so can leave your child vulnerable to potentially life-threatening diseases. It's important to consider that an immunization schedule is no different from any other part of your child's development – it should be approached with the same levels of care and attention.
There is a vast range of immunizations that your child will need to protect him from various illnesses and conditions. Getting these shots at the right time improves the effectiveness and reduces the risk of side effects. On our Immunizations page, you'll find simple visual guides to help make sure you and your child are fully protected.
