Why Immunize?
Immunizations can save lives and stop the spread of diseases. Babies and toddlers that are given immunizations on time can be protected from many dangerous diseases:
- Measles
- Mumps
- Rubella
- Hepatitis B
- Polio
- Diphtheria
- Tetanus
- Pertussis (whooping cough)
- Hib
- Varicella (chickenpox)
- Pneumococcal
- Influenza
- Hepatitis A
Babies and toddlers who do not get their shots on time can be infected by one of these ten diseases and become very sick. The measles epidemic of 1989-1991 made more than 55,000 people ill - 11,000 had to be hospitalized and 120 died. Most of the infants and toddlers who got sick did not have their measles shot on time.
Children need to have all of their immunizations by age 2 to be fully protected against vaccine-preventable diseases.
Besides saving children from dangerous diseases, immunizations save money. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for every $1 spent on diphtheria, tetanus and Pertussis programs, $29 is saved in direct and indirect costs.
