Immunizations: A Vital Shield Against Disease
At Stonebriar Pediatrics, we understand that immunizations are a crucial component of your child’s overall health and well-being. By protecting your child from preventable diseases, immunizations can help safeguard their future and contribute to a healthier community.
- Disease prevention: Immunizations help shield your child from a variety of infectious diseases, including measles, mumps, rubella, polio, pertussis, and many others.
- Community health: When a high percentage of the population is vaccinated, it creates herd immunity, protecting even those who cannot be vaccinated due to medical reasons.
- Long-term benefits: Immunizations can provide lifelong protection against certain diseases.
We offer a comprehensive range of immunizations recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for children of all ages. Our schedule aligns with the CDC’s recommended immunization schedule to ensure your child receives the necessary protection at the appropriate times.
Your child’s pediatrician will develop a personalized immunization schedule based on their age and medical history. We will discuss the specific immunizations your child needs and the recommended timing for each.
While it’s true that no medical procedure is completely without risk, the risks associated with immunizations are minimal and far outweighed by the benefits of protection against serious diseases. Mild side effects, such as redness or soreness at the injection site, are common but usually subside within a few days.
Yes, it is generally safe and recommended to combine multiple immunizations in a single visit. This can help reduce the number of visits your child needs to receive all necessary vaccinations.
- Schedule regular well-child checkups: These visits provide an opportunity for your child to receive necessary immunizations.
- Maintain immunization records: Keep accurate records of your child’s immunization history.
- Consult with your pediatrician: If you have any questions or concerns about immunizations, please don’t hesitate to discuss them with your pediatrician.
At Stonebriar Pediatrics, we are committed to providing your child with the highest quality care, including up-to-date and accurate immunization information. By ensuring your child receives the recommended immunizations, you are taking an important step in protecting their health and the health of others in your community
