Why vaccines (and completing every dose) matter

content

Your baby’s routine checkups include important screenings such as growth measurements and developmental assessments. And they’re also a key opportunity to help protect your baby’s health. Staying on schedule with recommended vaccines at each checkup helps their immune system protect against certain potentially serious diseases.

Some vaccines are administered once, while others are given as multiple dose series. For example, pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) is given as a series of 4 doses over time. Completing every dose in the series helps provide strong and lasting immune protection.
