Wednesday, August 27, 2008
Heidi Murkoff, the author of the popular must read for mothers-to-be, What To Expect When You're Expecting, has written a pamphlet called The What To Expect Guide To Immunizations: What You Need To Know About Your Child's Vaccinations. The effort is designed to help provide parents with a clear, concise understanding of what to expect with childhood vaccines and the best part, it's available online and free at www.whattoexpect.org and in pediatricians’ offices.DID YOU KNOW:
* 74% of children are delayed in receiving one or more vaccinations during the first two years of life.
* Once children experience delays of more than 6 months in their immunization schedule, the majority do not catch up, which may put them at risk for developing vaccine-preventable infectious diseases.
