CDC launches new video series for parents, "How Vaccines Work"
The CDC National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases is launching the first video of its newest, animated video series for parents, "How Vaccines Work." In these short videos, viewers follow baby Jack and his parents as they get answers to common vaccine-related questions and learn more about the importance of vaccinating on schedule. The first video "How Vaccines Work: How Do Germs Make Your Baby Sick?" describes how vaccines fight germs and provide long-lasting protection against 14 serious diseases. The CDC launched two additional videos in February and March covering topics including "Vaccines and Your Baby's Immune System" and "What to Expect When Your Child is Vaccinated."
