The Importance Of Routine Immunizations

14 Oct The Importance Of Routine Immunizations

Maybe now more than ever, the talk of vaccines has dominated the majority of the news cycle. While discussions are currently focused on creating a new vaccine that will end a pandemic, you can’t overlook the importance of routine immunizations. To keep your child fully protected, our team at Pediatric Associates of Plainview highly recommends following the CDC’s immunization schedule. To learn more about this schedule, and the benefits of sticking to it, please continue reading or contact a member of our team.

The Vaccine Calendar

Vaccines are safe for nearly all children to take. To keep children protected from disease, the CDC has created a calendar that our team goes by when offering vaccinations. The calendar ranges from the birth of children until they are 18 years old and dictates how many doses are needed to have the maximum immunization results. Vaccines for a wide range of illnesses are listed, including just some of the below:

• Hepatitis A and B.
• Rotavirus.
• Influenza.
• Measles, Mumps, and Rubella.
• HPV.

The Benefits Of Routine Immunization

In recent years, there has been a push back from a portion of the public regarding vaccinations. While it’s easy to find someone posting about why they won’t vaccinate their children, it’s important to remember that vaccinations help to keep your kids safe. By coming in for routine immunizations, you’ll ensure your child does not contract any illnesses that could have otherwise been avoided. Another benefit is that immunizations help keep what is known as herd immunity, which helps to stop the spread of dangerous diseases.
