That's not true. Children's immunizations need to be started when they are babies. Children should receive most of their immunizations during their first 2 years, starting at birth. Older children and teenagers also need immunizations. Remember, the very best way to make sure your child gets the immunizations he or she needs is to make regular visits to your child's pediatrician, or your local health clinic.
Some immunizations are combined and protect against more than one disease.
A combination vaccine of HBV and Hib is now available and can be given as one injection for infants who need both. Varicella vaccine to protect against chicken pox. You should get your child immunized at your pediatrician's office, at your community health center, or at your local public or children's health clinic. It is important for you to have one doctor's office or clinic where you can go to obtain your child's health care needs. You can get immunizations for your child even if you don't have the money to pay for them.
