Immunizations

Immunizations are recommended for children and adults to help prevent the spread of infectious diseases. A vaccine protects a person from a specific disease by stimulating their immune system to produce immunity to it. It is typically administered through needle injections into the upper arm or thigh.

Here is a list of recommended vaccinations for children (birth – 6 years), (7-18 years) and adults.

Like any other medical procedure, there is risk of side effects, so speak with your doctor or child’s pediatrician if you have any concerns.
