The United States has the safest, most effective vaccine supply in its history. Before a vaccine is approved and given to children, scientists, and medical professionals carefully evaluate all available vaccine information to determine its safety and effectiveness by extensive testing. Vaccine recommendations are updated as new information and science become available.<\/p>\n
Your child may feel discomfort or tenderness where they got the shot, but this is minor compared to the serious complications that can result from the diseases these vaccines prevent. Nearly all children can be safely vaccinated. There are some exceptions, including children with allergies to something in a vaccine and those with weakened immune systems due to an illness or a medical treatment, such as chemotherapy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Just as your doctor tells you to finish the full antibiotic prescription (even if you feel better) to become fully immunized, children need to receive all doses of the vaccines according to the recommended schedule. If your child does not receive the full number of vaccine doses, they will be vulnerable to catching serious diseases. Check with your child\u2019s healthcare provider to find out which vaccines your child needs.<\/p>\n
