Pediatric Immunizations Schedule

How immunizations from your pediatricians in Klamath Falls, OR, can help your child stay healthy.

When you have a child, your child needs immunizations. In fact, they are required for your child to attend daycare or school. Fortunately, getting your child vaccinated is also convenient. Your child’s pediatrician can provide the vaccinations your child needs.

Dr. Nicola Cherry at The Children’s Clinic of Klamath in Klamath Falls, OR, offers a wide variety of medical services for children, including immunizations.

Before the development of vaccines, children were at the mercy of contagious and deadly diseases like the flu, polio, meningitis, measles, and diphtheria. Children’s immune systems aren’t fully developed like those of an adult, so children were extremely susceptible to diseases.

Immunizations provide a lot of important benefits because they protect:

• Your child from serious, contagious diseases
• You and other family members from contagious diseases
• Your child’s playmates and classmates from disease spread

You can have peace of mind, knowing that vaccines are:

• Effective, because they save millions of lives across the world
• Safe, because they are tested and approved by the FDA before releasing to the public
• Quick and easy, because they require only a few moments to administer

So, what immunizations does your child need? The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends these vaccinations from birth to 18 years old:

• Hepatitis B
• Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis
