One of your main goals as a parent is to make sure your child is protected.
But did you know that one of the best ways to protect your child is to
make sure they have all of their vaccinations?
A few years ago, some parents were under the suspicion that the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine was causing children to develop autism, but studies have since disproved that theory.
Vaccinations are safe, effective, and capable of saving your child’s life.
Vaccines are only given to children after long, careful reviews by scientists, doctors, and other healthcare
professionals.
The overall health benefits of a
vaccination far outweigh the possible side effects caused by
them.
•However this means they must receive several vaccination
shots at one time.
•You may give your child combination vaccines, which lessen
the amount of needle sticks while still providing protection
for your child against the same number of diseases.
The vaccine schedule is designed to ensure that every
child receives vaccines at the optimal time to protect them
from infectious diseases.
The schedule is updated every year. It is important that
your pediatrician is familiar with your child’s medical
history in order to know which vaccines should be
recommended.
To find out which vaccines your child should have this year, call an
experienced Orlando pediatrician at Family First Pediatrics at 407-335-4760 or schedule an appointment
