About

This article explains the importance of childhood vaccines and following the recommended immunization schedule. Dr. Melissa Stockwell, a pediatric expert, assures that vaccines are safe and protect children from diseases. Vaccinations start at birth and continue through adolescence, with some required before school entry. The new RSV antibody shot is highlighted for infants to prevent severe illness. Common side effects are mild but serious reactions need medical attention. Some vaccines require boosters due to changing viruses like flu and COVID-19, while others do not need frequent doses once given in early childhood or adolescence.
