 Immunizing
children on schedule is the best protection against dangerous
diseases. Along with regular checkups at the doctor’s office or
health clinic, immunizations are the best way to keep all children
and adults healthy. Help your children grow up strong and healthy.
It’s up to parents to make sure their children get all of their
immunizations by age 2.
The Health
Department follows the combined Recommended Childhood Schedule
approved by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP),
American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the American Academy of
Family Physicians (AAFP).
State
provided vaccines are available to children between the age of birth
through 18 years of age.

Pertussis,
also known as whooping cough, is a potentially deadly infection that
can strike at any age, but is particularly dangerous for babies.
More than 60% of babies (or 3 out of 5)
with reported cases of pertussis are
hospitalized, and more than 90% of pertussis-related deaths are
among babies younger than 4 months of age.
