Vaccines are a critical part of staying healthy at every age. Today, vaccines protect people throughout their lives – from infancy through adulthood – against more than 30 infections and deadly diseases.
In early childhood the immune systems of infants and young children are still developing, which makes them more susceptible to illness. That’s why most childhood immunizations protecting against diseases, such as diphtheria, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, polio, pertussis, rotavirus, rubella, and tetanus, are scheduled within the first two years of life.
