It's National Influenza Vaccination Week! 🩹💪 A perfect time to remember that early immunizations help children build immunity before they are exposed to germs that can make them very sick.

Vaccines are one of our most powerful tools to prevent life-threatening diseases. That's why most childhood vaccines are recommended during your baby's first 12 to 18 months of life.

Have questions about which vaccines your child needs? You're not alone! Check out this helpful resource from AAP to see what's recommended before age 6: https://www.healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/immunizations/Pages/Your-Babys-First-Vaccines.aspx

¿Tiene preguntas sobre qué vacunas necesita su hijo(a)? ¡No está solo(a) en esto! Consulte este recurso útil de la AAP con las recomendaciones hasta los 6 años: https://www.healthychildren.org/spanish/safety-prevention/immunizations/paginas/your-babys-first-vaccines.aspx
