Vaccination is one of the most important ways to protect children from serious vaccine-preventable diseases. World Immunization Week is an opportunity to remind parents and families about the importance of timely vaccination and keeping children protected throughout their early years.
Why Childhood Vaccination Matters
Vaccines help prepare the body to recognize and respond to specific infections. Following the recommended vaccination schedule helps ensure that children receive protection at the appropriate stages of childhood.
Staying Up to Date With Vaccinations
Parents should keep a record of their child’s vaccinations and discuss the schedule with their pediatrician. If a vaccination has been delayed or missed, parents should seek professional advice about an appropriate catch-up schedule rather than assuming the series needs to be started again.
