As a parent, you work hard to protect your baby.
Vaccines are a valuable tool in your efforts to keep your child healthy and safe. Vaccines offer the best known protection against a number of devastating illnesses. They must be given on a timely basis to protect your child at the earliest opportunity and when they are most vulnerable.
