Vaccines Protect Children From Harmful Infectious Diseases Vaccines are essential to getting children off to a healthy start in life and keeping them healthy as they grow up. Because immunization programs of the 20th and 21st centuries have been so successful, many parents today have never seen the many vaccine-preventable diseases that were once common. They may not realize that those infectious diseases could reemerge.

Here are some tips to keep in mind when your child is vaccinated.
