Vaccine Schedule
Most kids get vaccines to protect against 14 diseases before they start school. The CDC vaccine schedules are recommended for two reasons:
1) When the vaccine will work the best with your child’s immune system
2) When your child needs the protection the most.
La mayoría de los niños reciben vacunas para protegerse contra 14 enfermedades antes de comenzar la escuela. Los calendarios de vacunación de los CDC se recomiendan por dos razones: 1) Cuándo la vacuna funcionará mejor con el sistema inmunitario de su hijo 2) Cuándo su hijo necesita más protección.
