VACCINATE YOUR FAMILY

Every day around the world, parents protect their children from illness and injury.  They buckle them in age appropriate car seats.  They install baby gates and outlet covers.  They make them wear bike helmets and protective sports gear.  They install smoke alarms and install safety latches on cupboards and locks on doors.  All these things, and more, they do for the well-being of their children and, yet... some hesitate when it comes to vaccines, because for some, vaccines are scary business.

The fact that most babies begin childhood immunizations with the first dose of a Hepatitis B vaccine soon after birth before leaving the hospital can be a little unnerving if you weren't expecting it.  Do yourself a favor.  Research verifiable science-based sources.  Ask questions.  Talk to your healthcare professional.  And then, vaccinate... on time.

The following website contains valuable vaccine information and answers many questions parents often have.  Please take a few minutes to visit: https://www.vaccinateyourfamily.org/
