Vaccines get administered to people of all ages, starting immediately following birth. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provide doctors and other health care professionals with a regularly updated Immunization Schedule for all age groups. There is a version specific to children and adolescents under the age of 18, and another one for adults. Throughout childhood and the early years of their life, many people will receive their full schedule of immunizations through their doctor or a nurse. There are many different vaccines available to protect us against a long list of diseases and illnesses that can lead to severe illness and even death if caught. The Immunization Schedule provides timelines for each vaccination, including the recommended ages for vaccine administration for maximum protection. If you are unsure what vaccines you or your family members are in need of, give Boca Medical Care a call. Our staff are fully versed in the Immunization Schedule and we will be able to review your immunization history to let you know if you are missing any doses.
