We know that parents can be concerned about their kids' safety which is why it is so important to keep current with their immunizations. Your pediatricians at Children's Physicians offer pediatric care and immunizations in Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, and Palm City, FL, to keep your child healthy.
Why Are Immunizations So Important?
Immunization is the process of becoming vaccinated to prevent diseases. These diseases can be very serious, and getting vaccinated can give you a better immune response. Vaccines don't just protect you; they also protect the people around you through community immunity. Vaccines are completely safe for your child, and your pediatrician can give you all the information you need to make informed decisions about your child's health. You can even work with your doctor to create a vaccination schedule that works for your needs.
Which Immunizations Do My Children Need?
Because proof immunization is a prerequisite for enrollment in school or daycare, it's important to keep your children up to date on their vaccines. The benefit of doing so is that your children will be protected from diseases that could cause them serious health problems. Your pediatrician provides your children with the recommended vaccines according to the guidelines provided by the AAP and the CDC. Vaccines are safe and effective in preventing diseases and health complications in children and adults.
