Be wise and immunize your child
Why Immunizations Are Important
Immunizations, also known as vaccinations or shots, are crucial for several reasons:
- Disease Prevention: Immunizations are highly effective at preventing a range of infectious diseases, some of which can have severe or even life-threatening consequences.
- Community Immunity: When a significant portion of the population is vaccinated, it creates herd immunity. This helps protect individuals who cannot receive vaccines due to medical reasons, such as allergies or weakened immune systems.
- School and Program Requirements: Many schools, camps, and child programs have specific immunization requirements to ensure the safety of all attendees. Compliance with these requirements is essential for enrollment and something Dr. Decerina and her team take very seriously!
