National Infant Immunization Week 2018 Is April 21st Through April 28th

National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW) is an annual observance to highlight the importance of protecting infants from vaccine-preventable diseases and celebrate the achievements of immunization programs and their partners in promoting healthy communities.

 Since 1994, hundreds of communities across the United States have joined together to celebrate the critical role vaccination plays in protecting our children, communities, and public health.

 Learn about the vaccines your baby needs from a reliable source.  CDC’s vaccine website for parents explains the diseases vaccines prevent, immunization schedule, possible side effects, how to comfort your baby during vaccine visits, and more:  www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/index.html

 Join the Cuyahoga County Board of Health in our effort to keep children in Northeast Ohio healthy by making sure your baby is up to date on all recommended vaccines.
