Why Immunizations Are Important

Protect your child’s health and future by staying up to date on childhood immunizations.

We know that parents want to do everything possible to keep their children healthy and safe. That’s why you babyproof your home and do your research before purchasing a car seat or stroller. Of course, one of the best ways to ensure your child’s health is by turning to our Kansas City, MO, board-certified pediatricians for immunizations. Here’s why immunizations are important for all children,

Immunizations Save Lives

Thanks to advancements in medical technology, our team of pediatricians here in Kansas City, MO, can protect your child’s health and future by providing them with the immunizations they need until they reach adulthood. Diseases such as polio, that once killed or caused serious paralysis to countless children, are now eliminated thanks to vaccines.

Vaccines are Safe

We know that many parents have concerns about the safety of childhood vaccines. We welcome parents to sit down and discuss these concerns with us. After all, there are a lot of myths and misinformation on the internet about vaccines. While it’s true that these inoculations can lead to tenderness, redness and some swelling at the injection site, serious side effects are rare. In fact, the benefits of these vaccines far outweigh the potential for serious reactions or side effects.

Immunizations Protect Everyone

While we know that your focus is on keeping your child safe, it’s probably also focused on making sure that your entire family and the community around you stays healthy too. Immunizations don’t just protect our children, they also protect those who are ill, have weakened immune system and those who are unable to get vaccinated. Immunizations protect your child, your friends and those you love.

Vaccinations Can Save Time and Money

By protecting your child against potentially dangerous diseases we can prevent unnecessary hospitalizations and serious health complications that could require long-term procedures and care. Vaccines can keep your child healthy and prevent unnecessary and expensive medical bills. Think of vaccines as an investment in the long-term health of your child.

For our Kansas City, MO, pediatric team, nothing is more important than making sure your child gets the immunizations they need throughout their childhood.
