As a parent, you need to keep current on the latest in childhood health and safety recommendations. At the top of the list is getting your child immunized. Some of you may find it challenging to simply keep up with all of the doctor visits and shots that are recommended during childhood. Others of you may cringe at the thought of needles, or you've probably heard confusing, concerning, or contradictory information about vaccines. This may have caused you to question just how necessary vaccines really are. Whatever the case, it is helpful for all parents to understand immunizations, how they work, what potential risks are involved, and why they're so important.
