Vaccination Q&A
Why are vaccines essential?
Vaccines play a key role in preventing diseases. They strengthen the immune system by training it to recognize and fight specific viruses or bacteria, reducing the likelihood of severe illness.
What vaccinations does my child need?
The vaccination schedule can vary, depending on your child’s age and specific health conditions. Generally, it includes vaccines for Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR), Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (DTaP), Poliovirus, and more. Your pediatrician at Pediatrics of Southwest Houston will guide you through the appropriate schedule.
Are vaccines safe?
Yes, vaccines are thoroughly tested for safety and efficacy before they are licensed and recommended for use. While they can cause mild side effects like a sore arm or low-grade fever, serious side effects are rare.
Do vaccines provide lifelong immunity?
Some vaccines provide lifelong immunity, but others might require “booster” doses to maintain protection. Your pediatrician will keep track of all required doses to ensure continuous immunity.
