Montrose County West End Immunizations Childhood Immunizations: In an effort to help raise infant and childhood immunization levels in the United States, the federal government created the VFC Program in 1994. The VFC program follows the recommended immunization guidelines established by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. School entry requirements follow these same guidelines and are established by the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment. The primary goal of the immunization program is the prevention of vaccine preventable diseases in children.

Montrose County West End Immunizations Are Childhood Immunizations Safe? Vaccines are held to the highest standard of safety.

Once in use, vaccines are continually monitored for safety and effectiveness. However, like any medication, vaccines can cause side effects. (CDC)

Montrose County West End Immunizations How can I prepare my child for immunizations? Tell older kids what's going to happen and that the shot helps to keep them healthy. Tell younger kids that it's OK to cry, but also encourage them to be brave. Try to be calm yourself. Your child can pick up on your concerns. Distraction at the moment of the injection is helpful. Try having kids count, sing a song with you, or look away (perhaps at a picture on the wall). You may want to have a joke or funny comment ready. Offer praise after the injection is over. Plan something fun for after the appointment. A trip to the park or playground can make the overall immunization experience less unpleasant.
