What if my child is sick?
Doctors agree that children with mild illness should still receive immunizations and stay on schedule. This is because mild illness will not impact the vaccine and the vaccine will not make illness worse.
Symptoms of mild illness include:
Children with moderate to severe illness may need to wait to have vaccines administered. Discuss your concerns with your child's health care provider. For more information from the CDC click HERE.
Your child may need extra love and care after getting vaccinated. Some vaccinations that protect children from serious diseases can also cause mild discomfort.
Feel free to call your child's health care provider or one of our clinics for more questions.
