Is Your Child On Schedule with Their Immunizations?
If you have a young child, the chances are good that you are going to hear about immunizations from your child’s doctor and school. They 
are considered a crucial step in ensuring your child’s long-term health and well-being. Learn more about immunization schedules and visit a pediatrician at Mid-City Pediatrics in West Chester and Cincinnati, OH to find out if your child is on schedule.
Common Immunizations
Doctors recommend that children receive specific immunizations at certain ages and stages of life. The first immunization is commonly given in the hospital where the child is born. Here is a list of some of the most common vaccinations:
- Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B
- Influenza
- Measles mumps and rubella (MMR)
- Rotavirus
- Meningococcal (meningitis vaccines)
- Polio
- Tetanus shot
- Whooping cough
- HPV
- Chicken pox
- Pneumococcal (prevents pneumonias, blood infections, and meningitis)
- HiB (prevents pneumonias, blood infections, and meningitis)
Why Are Immunizations Recommended?
Immunizations help a child's immune system fight threats in their environment. The shots, administered by your West Chester and Cincinnati pediatrician, strengthen immune cells and help them “train for battle” against diseases. Bacteria and viruses are on numerous surfaces, in the air, and can be passed from person to person. Since young kids must go to school with a lot of other children and adults in close quarters they are at a higher risk of contracting diseases or infections. Immunizations are a protection for everyone who must live, work and go to school with others.
Immunization Schedules
The official immunization schedule, published by the CDC and updated yearly, is available at the American Academy of Pediatrics website. Generally, by the age of six, children should have had the majority of recommended vaccines. Up to age 18, the flu shot, meningococcal, tetanus and HPV vaccine are recommended at certain intervals. There is a “catch up schedule” that your pediatrician can discuss with you for children who are over a month behind the normal schedule.
Getting Up to Date
If you find that your child is not on schedule with immunizations, call a pediatrician at Mid-City Pediatrics in West Chester and Cincinnati, OH by calling (513) 948-8444. Dr. Camille Graham and the office nurses can help you get up to date.
