How vaccinations from your pediatrician in Loma Linda, CA, can protect your child’s health

You want to do what’s best for your child, and one of the easiest, most effective ways you can keep your child healthy is to make sure your child is current on vaccinations. Dr. Jennifer Cobanov at My Pediatric Home in Loma Linda, CA, provides a wide range of medical services for children, including vaccinations to protect your child’s health.

The immune systems of children aren’t as developed as those of an adult. That means your child is more susceptible to becoming sick from a serious illness or disease. That’s where vaccinations come in. They are another layer of protection against illness and disease.

Vaccinations are important for many reasons. Consider that vaccinations are:

Effective–in fact, they have a 90-99% success rate in preventing contagious, infectious, and serious diseases.

Safe–in fact, they are rigorously tested and approved by the FDA. They are also reviewed by the CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Academy of Family Physicians.

Convenient–in fact, your pediatrician can administer vaccinations during your child’s regular wellness visits, so you can have peace of mind, knowing your child is protected.

Required–in fact, vaccinations are required before your child can attend daycare or school. You must show proof of vaccinations and your pediatrician can help provide the documentation you need.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) provides a list of required vaccinations from birth to 18 years old. These include:

• Hepatitis B
• Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis
• Haemophilus influenza type B
