Immunizations Schedules and Recommendations

Note: Beginning May 2010, the new Prevnar 13 replaces Prevnar 7. If your child is between 14 and 59 months of age, and has completed the recommended four doses of Prevnar 7, he/she will still need one dose of Prevnar 13. This new vaccine gives your child protection against six additional strains of Pneumococcal bacteria. If your child has yet to receive all four recommended doses, this new vaccine will complete the series.

The Value of Immunizations

Immunizations have eliminated many of the most devastating childhood and adolescent diseases. In countries like the United States, where vaccines are routinely administered, potentially deadly diseases have been virtually eliminated. However, some diseases continue to threaten our communitites, and some children remain under-immunized.

Lack of immunization increases the likelyhood of disease outbreaks that are easily prevented by vaccines. The recent resurgence of whooping cough is an example that when vaccination rates decrease, the risk of spreading, or contracting disease increases.
