Childhood vaccines are a critical step in protecting your child. Immunity is the body’s way of preventing disease. Vaccines reduce your child’s risk of infection by working with the body’s natural defenses to help safely develop protection against common vaccine-preventable diseases like Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Chickenpox, etc.
