She will be missed and Clearwater Health Services wishes her the best in the future. Remember to Immunize Your Baby April 19-25 is National Infant Immunization Week. Clearwater County Nursing Service joins in recognizing this special week which highlights the immunization needs of children under two. Children need 12 to 16 doses of different vaccines before their second birthday to be protected fom serious childhood diseases. These shots can be administered in about five visits to a health clinic or private doctor.
Baby shots work and have very few side effects.
The benefits of shots far outweigh any risks. Some of the diseases that shots prevent are much more serious for babies than they are for adults, such as whooping cough. Immunizing your child is one of the most loving things you can do as a parent. Like car seats, shots offer life-saving protection. Don't put off a baby shot because your baby has a cold, a minor illness, or is on antibiotics.
