Vaccines protect children from serious illnesses during the years they are most vulnerable. Knowing what to expect makes each visit easier for you and your child.

‍

1. Why Vaccines Matter

• They protect against diseases such as measles, whooping cough and polio
• They help protect babies who are too young to be vaccinated
• They are tested and monitored for safety

‍

2. A Typical Schedule

• Birth to 6 months: the first series of routine vaccines
• 12 to 18 months: boosters and the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine
• 4 to 6 years: school-entry boosters
• 11 to 12 years: preteen vaccines
• Every year from 6 months: a seasonal flu shot

‍

3. Making the Visit Easier

• Bring your child's vaccination record
• Hold your child close and stay calm
• Bring a favorite toy or a small treat for afterwards

‍

4. After the Vaccine

Mild redness, a sore arm or a low fever for a day or two is normal. Call us if your child has a high fever or seems unwell.
