Immunization Tips for Parents

When should my child be immunized?

Babies need most of their shots before they are two years old. In five short visits they can complete the recommended schedule by 12 months, beginning at birth, 2, 4, 6, and 12 months.

What if my child's immunization is overdue?

Even if your child is overdue by a year or more, the shot series picks up from where it left off.
The nurse will put your child on an accelerated schedule to complete the series of shots.

Comfort tips (For Parent & Child)

Try giving your child a non-aspirin pain reliever (acetaminophen.) Give the dosage according to the child's weight, one half hour before the shot and every four hours (up to 24 hours).
Put a warm or cool wash cloth on the injection site. This will relieve some discomfort. A warm bath may also comfort your child.
Prepare your child. Be truthful. Shots are painful, but only for a moment.

Your child can be immunized even with these mild symptoms:

Fever	Yes
Ear infection	Yes
On antibiotics	Yes
Irritable or cranky	Yes
Vomiting or diarrhea	Yes
Chronic illness	Yes
Neurologic disorders	Yes

For additional questions or concerns, consult a physician.

What's the delay?

"My baby is healthy"
Just because your baby is healthy doesn't mean he or she is safe from disease.

"I can't take time off from work to take my baby to the doctor"
Taking time now to immunize your child can save you much more time later if your child becomes ill.

"My doctor didn't tell me my baby needed shots"
IT'S UP TO YOU! It's your responsibility to protect your child from vaccine preventable diseases.

WITH ALL YOU HAVE TO JUGGLE IN LIFE, PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO IMMUNIZE YOUR CHILD.
