WHAT ARE IMMUNIZATIONS?
* Immunizations are medicines children get when they are very young. They
protect children from getting many serious diseases
* Immunizations are administered by Iowa Department of Public Health protocol.
WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT?
* Many years ago, children often got sick with serious diseases. Many died or
were left with permanent damage
* Today, your baby has a good chance of staying healthy if you immunize on time
every time
WHEN SHOULD YOUR CHILD BE IMMUNIZED?
* Immunizations work best when babies are very young, before they are exposed
to the germs that cause diseases
* Your child will visit the doctor or clinic every 4-8 weeks until all
immunizations are finished
CHICKASAW COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH Requires that before children receive their
immunizations at our clinic, they visit their doctor for a well check first
with the parent bringing in the permission slip for the shots to be given.
