Childhood immunizations protect your child from serious diseases when they are born and as they grow.

About Immunizations

Entering 7th Grade?

Teens need a booster vaccination against pertussis (whooping cough) before they enter the 7th grade. Get the necessary Tdap vaccination at your pediatrician, local pharmacy, or schedule a visit to a county health department near you by calling 855-767-0170.
