Routine Vaccines Give Children Their Best Shot at a Healthy Future
Rates of routine childhood vaccination (against diseases such as measles, polio, and meningococcal disease) have fallen during the COVID-19 pandemic. Wellness vaccinations prevent outbreaks of dangerous diseases and help keep children safe. In some cases, even a small drop in the vaccination rate can lead to outbreaks of disease.
Getting vaccinated against preventable diseases is safe and protects your health, as well as the health of your family and community.
By getting vaccinated, you can protect yourself and help your family and your community be safer and healthier.
