What are the Immunizations my Child Should Receive?
Advances in medicine have allowed most of the developed world to eradicate the most deadly childhood diseases. Mass immunizations have been responsible for this victory, as the rest of the world attempts to implement programs to vaccinate its citizens. Some have said that vaccinating our population has been one of the biggest advances in public health since clean drinking water. Immunizations protect people by exposing them to a dead or weakened virus, which allows the body to develop immunity to it before one actually gets sick. Vaccinations have saved countless millions from death and disease.
