Vaccinations
Ensure your child stays safe and healthy with vaccinations. They help protect against harmful diseases. Vaccines are safe and have been tested a lot. They might cause a little discomfort, but it's much less than getting sick. Some kids can't get vaccinated, so by getting vaccinated, you help protect them too. It's important for everyone in your family to get vaccinated to keep each other safe.
