Why immunizations are an important part in your child’s life
Vaccine-preventable diseases, such as measles, whooping cough, and influenza are still a threat. They continue to infect U.S. children, resulting in hospitalizations and deaths every year.

When a baby is vaccinated, the immune system becomes tougher and the child does not get sick very easily.

If not vaccinated, these diseases would affect the child when he/she grows up, these diseases could have effects on their further development.
