Vaccines Keep Children Healthy

Vaccines can prevent common diseases that used to seriously harm or even kill infants, children, and adults. Without vaccines, your child is at risk of becoming seriously ill or even dying from childhood diseases such as measles and whooping cough.

Get Yourself and Your Family Vaccinated

Vaccines aren’t just for children anymore. Adults need vaccines to protect against measles, tetanus, whooping cough, flu, hepatitis, chickenpox, pneumococcal, and more.
