Thank you for your interest in finding out more information about immunizations. As parents, you are asked to make many important decisions concerning your children. Some of the most difficult decisions can be in regard to their health care and, specifically, immunizations. Everybody wants to make the right choices and do what is best for their children. As a community, there is also a need to protect the public's health. Public Health recommends that you have your child immunized, but ultimately the decision is yours. |
Public Health provides this information in response to requests by parents, health care professionals, school nurses, child care providers and others to:
- provide more information about immunizations and vaccine-preventable diseases, much in the same way you look for information on car seats, bicycle helmets, and age-appropriate toys
- balance the benefits and risks of immunization and assist you in making an informed decision
- clarify inaccuracies or misinformation about immunizations and vaccine-preventable diseases
