Immunizations protect infants and children from devastating and even fatal diseases.
Dr. Sergio G. DeMier, Ardmore, says the big deal is that immunizations protect infants and children from devastating and even fatal diseases. DeMier said there are a number of reasons why parents don't understand the importance of making sure their baby's or tot's immunizations are current. One thing is they just don't know what can happen. Young parents have never even heard of diseases like diphtheria. But that's not true.
