Your Child’s Immunization Schedule

Get to know more about your child’s vaccine schedule and why it’s critical for their health.

From the moment your baby is born they will start getting vaccines that can bolster their immune systems and protect them against certain communicable diseases that can be dangerous, causing long-term disability, complications and even death. Get to know more about the immunizations your child will get from our Conroe, TX, pediatrician Dr. Ayotunde Faweya.

Your Child’s Immunization Schedule

All children will follow the same immunization schedule mapped out by the CDC. This immunization schedule may change, so It’s important to discuss any of these changes with our Conroe, TX, pediatrician.

We also know that some parents might be hesitant about vaccines. It’s our job to provide you with all the information you need to make smart, informed decisions regarding your child’s health. If you are curious to know what vaccines your child needs throughout childhood, the CDC has an awesome “parent-friendly” immunization schedule that you can view online or print out on their site.

The Importance of Childhood Immunizations

You’ve heard that immunizations are important for kids, but maybe you don’t know why. Here are the top reasons all children should turn to our Conroe, TX, team for immunizations,

  • It protects your child against certain life-threatening and serious communicable illnesses by strengthening the immune system
  • It prevents death, long-term disability and other serious health complications associated with these infectious diseases
  • It protects immunocompromised individuals and babies who may not be able to get vaccinated
  • It protects the community at large

Just because we have vaccines to protect against certain diseases doesn’t mean that these viruses or illnesses have gone away. The only way to truly protect your child is to make sure they get vaccinated. If children didn’t get vaccinated, many of these diseases will become widespread again.

It’s also important to note that vaccines are not dangerous nor do they cause the virus or infection they’ve been manufactured to prevent. Vaccines contain either a dead or weakened form of the virus, which isn’t enough to get sick but is enough to trigger the immune system to develop antibodies against the infection.

Do you have questions about your child’s immunization schedule? No problem. Our Conroe, TX, pediatrician Dr. Faweya and the team at Northside Pediatrics Associates are happy to answer your questions or to discuss necessary immunizations with you further. Just give us a call at (936) 270-8655.
