Infant Immunization Week

Dear Editor,

April 22-29 is National Infant Immunization Week, an observance to

highlight the importance of protecting infants and young children from vaccine-preventable diseases.

With summer just around the corner, now is the perfect time for families to proactively schedule appointments for their children's

school-required vaccines. By scheduling vaccination appointments now, families can ensure their children are fully protected against

preventable diseases by the time school starts this fall.

Vaccines serve as crucial safeguards, protecting our children from

preventable diseases and allowing them to enjoy a summer filled with fun and exploration.

This National Infant Immunization Week, let's prioritize our children's

health by taking action on vaccinations now.
