WHY VACCINATE?

Vaccines are very important. Thanks to better nutrition, less crowded living conditions, antibiotics, and, most importantly, vaccines, many diseases do not occur or spread as much as they used to, but the bacteria and viruses that are responsible for these diseases remain in our environment. The recommended schedule of immunizations has been researched and documented to the most effective and safe way to protect children.
