Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

April 22-29, 2024 is National Infant Immunization Week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

National Infant Immunization Week is a yearly observation that highlights the importance of protecting infants from birth to two years of age from serious childhood diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vaccines, a successful public health tool, have greatly reduced infant deaths and disability caused by 14 preventable diseases like measles, mumps, whooping cough, chickenpox and polio. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), on-time vaccinations throughout childhood help provide immunity before children are exposed to potentially life-threatening diseases. Delaying vaccines leaves children unprotected during the time when they need vaccine protection the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChildren who may have missed or skipped vaccinations may be at an increased risk of diseases, which can be serious,\u201d stated Paul Pettit, Public Health Director for Genesee and Orleans County Health Departments (GO Health). \u201cIt is important to stay on track with well-child visits and recommended vaccination schedules. 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
