Why Child Immunizations Are Important

How child immunizations from your pediatrician in Montgomery, AL, can keep your child healthy

Your child will be exposed to bacteria and viruses throughout life. Other children, teachers, and members of your household can all get sick. You can help protect your child and others from serious illnesses and diseases by having your child immunized. Your pediatrician can help. Dr. Albert Holloway of Payne & Holloway Pediatrics in Montgomery, AL, provides comprehensive medical services for children, including child immunizations to keep your child healthy.

Children are especially vulnerable to illnesses and diseases because a child’s immune system is not fully developed like the immune system of an adult. Your child can’t fight off bacteria and viruses as well. Immunizations can help prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses and can keep your child from getting sick.

Your child will also need immunizations to go to daycare and school. Proof that your child is current on vaccinations is required before your child can attend daycare or school. Your pediatrician can provide the documentation you need.

So, what immunizations does your child need? The Centers for Disease Control, or CDC, recommends the following immunizations from birth to age 18:

  • Hepatitis B
  • Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis
  • Haemophilus influenza type B
  • Polio
  • Pneumococcal conjugate
  • Rotavirus
  • Measles, mumps, rubella
  • Chickenpox
  • Hepatitis A
  • Human papillomavirus
  • Meningococcal conjugate
  • Flu
  • COVID
