Vaccines play a crucial role in safeguarding health throughout both childhood and adulthood. While the body has some natural immunity developed in the womb and early childhood, it is not equipped to fight off all diseases. Certain illnesses can cause severe sickness or even death. Vaccines work by helping the body produce disease-fighting antibodies, offering protection against serious illnesses and promoting long-term wellness.
No, vaccines will not make your child sick. Some mild flu-like symptoms may occur after a vaccination, which are a natural response as the body builds antibodies to protect against future infections. These symptoms typically resolve within a day or two and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers if necessary. There may also be some temporary tenderness at the injection site, which will fade quickly.
Our practice provides a comprehensive range of vaccines recommended for children, including:
Some vaccines provide lifelong immunity, while others require periodic booster shots to maintain their effectiveness.
Your child’s vaccine schedule will be determined based on their medical history, school or sports requirements, and other individual factors. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services offer detailed immunization schedules to guide healthcare providers and parents on which vaccines are needed and the appropriate timing for administration.
