Shots For Tots
Additional Information
Why Immunize?
When you get an infection, your body produces disease-fighting substances called antibodies.
These antibodies usually stay in your body even after the illness has gone, and protect you from getting the same disease again.
Children can get very dangerous diseases that can be prevented by shots. Very young children are at the most risk, so you need to immunize your children early.
Your child should receive immunizations at birth, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 12 months, and soon after the 4th birthday.
IMMUNIZATION RECORDS
Your doctor or public health clinic will keep a record of your child's shots and will also give you a record. If you do not receive one, be sure to ask. Your doctor or clinic will be happy to provide you with a Personal
Immunization Card. It is very important that you keep this record of your child's shots. Bring the card with you when you take your child to the doctor, hospital, and make sure the doctor or nurse signs and dates the card any time a shot is given. If you go to more than one doctor or clinic you may have the only complete record of your child's shots. You will need this record to enroll your child in day care and/or school. After your child gets shots be sure you have made an appointment for his or her next visit.
