Being a parent is a big responsibility with many decisions about how to best protect your children, such as how to baby proof the house and when to switch to a booster seat. However, not all threats to your children’s safety are visible.
Vaccines help prevent infectious diseases that once killed or seriously harmed many children. Without vaccines, your children are at risk for serious illnesses including measles, mumps, whooping cough and flu, which could result in disability or even death. Even here in the United States, babies and young children regularly become the victims of these serious, life-threatening diseases, such as whooping cough and measles.
The best thing you can do to prepare your children for a healthy life is to learn the facts about vaccinations and make sure that they receive their vaccines on time.
