Unlike most medications that treat diseases, vaccines prevent diseases. Many diseases, including polio, measles, whooping cough, tetanus, and mumps, can now be prevented by vaccination. Immunizations can save your child’s life and the lives of others who may be unable to receive vaccinations.
At Grace Cottage Family Health, our providers can discuss with you the benefits of vaccinations and the appropriate immunization schedule for you and your family. Please contact your primary care physician for more information.
