Immunizations

Receiving immunizations make vaccine preventable diseases much less common than they were in the past. However, these diseases are still around and can make people in sick.

By being protected, people are less likely to become ill pass infections to those who are unable to be immunized. This creates a wall of protection in our community around those who are too young for certain vaccines, the elderly, and those with weak immune systems.

Children get immunizations early in life to build up their vulnerable immune systems. Common childhood immunizations provide protection against:

• Polio 
• Diphtheria 
• Pertussis (whooping cough)   
• Tetanus 
• Measles  
• Mumps 
• Meningitis
• Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
• Varicella ( chicken pox)   
• Haemophilus (HIB)
• Rubella  
• Hepatitis B
• Pneumococcal Infection  
• Flu

Use this Immunization Recommendation Coloring Sheet to keep your baby healthy and up to date on their immunizations. 

Recommended childhood immunization schedules:

• Children birth through age 6
• Preteens and teens 

Adult Immunizations

Adults also need immunizations to maintain the immunity from some childhood vaccines. Common adult vaccines include tetanus, flu, pneumonia, and meningitis.

• Immunizations for adults
