Immunizations Schedule

How immunizations from your pediatrician in Arlington, TX, can help protect your child’s health

There is a lot of conflicting information about immunizations floating around on the internet. The truth is, immunizations save lives, and they can protect your children from serious illnesses, hospitalizations, and even death. Your pediatrician can administer vaccinations to protect your child from getting sick.

Dr. Stephanie Gold at Gold Pediatrics in Arlington, TX, provides a wide range of children’s medical services, including immunizations to protect your child’s health.

Children are especially susceptible to illness, because the immune system of a child is not as developed as that of an adult. An underdeveloped immune system puts your child at risk for contagious diseases.

Let’s look at why immunizations are important. They:

  • Protect your child from acquiring infectious, serious, and deadly diseases including measles, mumps, hepatitis, meningitis, and others.
  • Protect your household, your child’s playmates, teachers, and others from illness and disease.
  • Are required for your child to attend daycare or school.

Immunizations are a quick and easy way to provide an umbrella of protection for your child. They are also extremely safe because vaccines are rigorously tested and approved by the FDA before they are released for public use.

Now, let’s look at the immunization schedule, brought to you by The Centers for Disease Control, or CDC. These are the recommended 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
