Immunizations Resources
Immunizations are like a superhero training camp for your child's immune system! When they get a vaccine, it's like a sneak peek of the bad guys (harmless bits of germs) that helps their body prepare. These vaccines teach their immune system how to recognize and remember these sneaky germs. So, if they ever come across the real ones, their immune system knows exactly how to fight them off, either stopping the sickness or making it much less serious. Immunizations basically give your child's immune system the superpower to stay strong and protect them from getting really sick.
