Health Services: Childhood Immunizations
Today children can be protected from 15 serious diseases by the time they are 12 years old. Compared to the early 1900's when only one vaccine was available for children, smallpox, we are now able to prevent the suffering and complications associated with diseases like measles, polio, whooping cough, chicken pox and hepatitis B.
