Keeping up to date with vaccines is one of the best ways to protect children from serious diseases. It’s best to vaccinate a child before they are exposed, to reduce the risk of deadly symptoms and complications from these diseases. 

Routine childhood vaccination in the United States has been very successful in preventing critical illness and death from diseases such as: 

• Chickenpox
• COVID-19
• Diphtheria
• Flu (Influenza)
• Hepatitis A
• Hepatitis B
• Hib (Haemophilus influenza type B)
• HPV (Human Papillomavirus)
• Measles
• Meningococcal
• Mumps
• Polio
• Pneumococcal
• Rotavirus
• RSV
• Rubella
• Tetanus
• Whooping Cough (Pertussis)

Some diseases such as diphtheria, mumps, and rubella, once common at young ages, are now practically unheard of. Let’s keep it that way. 

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends children keep up to date on their childhood vaccinations and well-child visits. This helps children stay healthy for school, childcare, and beyond.
