The Importance of Immunizations

Childhood vaccinations are very important to keep up with from your pediatric doctor or clinic. The basis behind immunization is to enable your child to build up antibodies to the disease and then if they encounter them later in life, their body's natural immune system will fight the disease off. At Tri-Valley Pediatrics, our expert team is highly experienced in childhood immunizations in Pleasanton, CA, and also in San Ramon, CA.

What Vaccines Are Needed for Children?

Children receive vaccines for a large number of diseases that in many years past were deadly. Children have the majority of their vaccines by age 6 and then will only need boosters afterward. Many of the vaccines include several targeted diseases in order to give fewer shots and cause children less stress. However, the current list of vaccinations is still quite long.

By the time your child is 2 years old, he or she will likely have many vaccines to protect them. They include one vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR), four vaccines for Hib, which can cause upper respiratory infections, and meningitis, and three to four polio (IPV) shots. They will also have four vaccines for Diptheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DPT), three vaccines for hepatitis B, and one for chickenpox. In addition, three shots for rotavirus and four shots for pneumococcal disease, which can cause pneumonia and chronic ear infections.

From 4 to 6 years of age your child will get booster shots for more protection.

How Do I Know When My Child Needs Vaccines?

Your pediatric doctor or clinic for immunizations in Pleasanton, CA, and San Ramon, CA will keep records of your child's immunizations and will also give you a card with the information on it as well as a schedule of when to return for vaccines. It's important to keep up with the shot records because several things arise in which you need to show proof of vaccines, such as enrolling at a daycare or at a school.
