Polio Vaccine

Prepare for your child's well-baby visit by learning more about the MMR vaccine and get the facts with our downloadable fact sheet below. We also debunk a lot of disinformation about the MMR vaccine in our Just the Facts Newsletter. Read the posts.

Rotavirus is a highly contagious viral infection that causes diarrhea and abdominal pain. It is usually mild but can be serious in children. Dehydration, particularly in young children, is a serious side effect and, if left untreated, can cause death.

Even though it sounds like Haemophilus influenzae is in the flu family, it is a bacterium. Hib is spread through coughing or sneezing. Not everyone who has the bacteria will get sick, but if infected, they can still spread the bacteria. A little research before your child’s well baby visit can go a long way to reducing your stress and concerns. Credible information helps ensure healthy choices and builds vaccine confidence.
