Why should I have my child or teen vaccinated?

Vaccination is one of the best ways parents can protect their infants, children and teens from 16 common yet potentially harmful diseases. Vaccine-preventable diseases can be very serious, may require hospitalization, or even be deadly - especially in infants and young children.

Each year thousands of people in the United States die from vaccine preventable diseases, and many more are hospitalized.

As a parent information is everything, make sure you follow the links related to each vaccine to get more information as provided by the CDC. The information in these pages is subject to change periodically due to improvements or changes in the vaccines and new research developments.
