Vaccinations not only play a key role in protecting our children from 14 vaccine-preventable diseases such as polio, mumps and the measles, they also protect our community. They are the most successful and cost-effective public health tool available for preventing and reducing the spread of infectious diseases as well as preventing death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, some infants and children have missed or delayed routinely recommended vaccinations. \u201cChildren who may have missed or skipped vaccinations may be at an increased risk of diseases like whooping cough (pertussis) and the measles, which can be serious,\u201d stated Pettit. \u201cThat is why it is important to stay on track with well-child visits and the recommended vaccination schedule. Please check with your healthcare provider to make sure your children are up to date on their routine vaccinations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more about vaccinations and to view the latest immunization schedule visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/vaccines\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"www.cdc.gov\/vaccines\">www.cdc.gov\/vaccines<\/a> or speak with your healthcare provider. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information on GO Health\u2019s Immunization Clinics, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/GOHealthNY.org\">GOHealthNY.org<\/a>.
