Unimmunized children are at increased risk of diseases that can be prevented through immunizations, such as mumps, pertussis, and varicella. By choosing immunizations, you're not just protecting your child—you’re contributing to a healthier community.

Stay Protected at Every Age

Timely and complete immunizations are the most effective way to prevent infection. While it’s still possible for individuals who have been immunized to contract diseases like pertussis or varicella, they typically experience milder symptoms and better outcomes compared to those who are unimmunized.

Get School Ready

Certain immunizations are required for school entry. To ensure your child is prepared, follow the recommended immunization schedules and bring them up to date at your health care provider’s office. Any missed doses can be administered at the next available visit. Find out more about school immunization requirements.

Your Partner in Health

Encourage your health care provider to administer age-appropriate immunizations at every visit. Immunizations help safeguard your child’s health while reducing the need for sick visits to the doctor. All recommended immunizations are rigorously tested for safety and effectiveness.
