National Infant Immunization Week is April 24 – 30

Each year, National Infant Immunization Week celebrates the critical role vaccination plays in protecting the health of children and families. This year we’re reminding parents of the importance of staying up to date with routinely recommended vaccines following disruptions from COVID-19.

“Getting your child vaccinated is one of the most important decisions you can make as a parent," says Dr. Dallas Malzi, NSCHC Chief Medical Officer. "If you are uncertain about a vaccine or just have questions, reach out and ask your friendly neighborhood pediatrician – we are here to help you make this important decision for your child.“

Vaccinating your child according to the recommended immunization schedule gives him or her the best protection against 14 serious childhood illnesses — like measles, whooping cough, and polio — before the age of 2.

North Side Christian Health Center encourages you to make sure your child's vaccines are up to date. Call 412-321-4001 to schedule an appointment, or if you have any questions about infant vaccinations.
