Nothing matters more to a good parent than their child’s health. However, if you’re a parent, you know nothing is more fun for a child than risking their health. Little ones gravitate towards the nearest visible danger the instant mom and dad are distracted. Being a responsible parent means staying alert for visible dangers and preparing your kids for the invisible ones. That’s why Dr. Corazon Panes Sanchez at Sanchez Pediatrics offers the children of Port Deposit, Rising Sun, Essex, MD, routine immunizations. Here’s why vaccines are so important:

Transmission Risks

Schools have a lot of nicknames, but there’s one almost every parent is familiar with: germ factories. Kids go to school and share drinks and snacks. They hold hands after rubbing their eyes or blowing their noses. Children swap pencils they’ve been chewing on. If a kid with a disease goes to school, it isn’t a question of whether they’ll spread their germs around. It’s just a question of how serious of a problem their germs will be. The routine immunizations we provide Port Deposit, Rising Sun, Essex, MD children ensure that exposure to these illnesses will result in fewer sick days and less serious diseases.

Protection From Life-Threatening Diseases

It’s hard to overstate how many children’s lives have been saved by vaccines. Thanks to vaccination, diseases that used to routinely end children’s lives are almost entirely extinct. Conditions with lower mortality rates aren’t nearly as severe as they used to be. Symptoms like “scarlet fever” have gone from indicating that your child might not live to be considered almost trivial.
