Parents want their children to live happy and healthy lives. With help from the medical community this is possible. Immunizations at the appropriate points in a child’s development can have lifelong benefits. This comprehensive program helps parents understand the need for vaccinations against disease, and explains how the vaccines work, and the results and reactions that may occur with each immunization. The proper immunization schedule is discussed as recommended by the American Pediatric Association. This program details the DPT (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus) vaccine; the hepatitis B vaccine; the polio vaccine; the HIB (haemophilus influenza B) vaccine; and the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine. Immunizations are undoubtedly the most significant contribution of science to the control of disease. With the information provided in this program, you will be better armed to keep your children healthy!
