Leading Pediatrics Clinic in Montgomery
Dr. Albert Holloway, our esteemed, experienced, skilled, and board-certified pediatric doctor, directs the Payne & Holloway Pediatrics in Montgomery, AL. Our clinic provides many services to parents and their children in and around Montgomery, and one of these services is child immunizations.
Not all parents are keen on getting their child immunized, so we want to help educate our parents and the public about how important it is for your child to receive vaccinations and the benefits to the children who take advantage of Montgomery's vaccination programs.
Why Are Childhood Immunizations Important?
Payne & Holloway Pediatrics in Montgomery, AL, explains that medical research has come a long way from days of old when there was no protection for our children against childhood diseases such as measles, mumps, chickenpox, polio, scarlet fever, typhoid fever, and TB, to name just a few.
We are so grateful to our medical researchers for developing vaccinations that protect children from these awful diseases over the last several years. It is through the efforts of medical research that many of these childhood diseases have significantly decreased, and some, like polio, are seldom heard of anymore.
Parents ask why it is necessary to vaccinate a child when some of these diseases are no longer in existence. If you don't vaccinate your child, these diseases will return. It is because of vaccinations that we rarely see these diseases anymore.
A child's immunity is relatively low, making them more vulnerable to childhood diseases, and they need the protection vaccinations provide. These vaccinations help a child fight off viruses and infections.
Children go to school every day and risk exposure to illnesses and diseases that pass from child to child. One reason is that children need to practice better hygiene habits. Other reasons why child immunizations are important.
- Some state laws require immunizations.
- School systems request immunization records.
- Immunizations help you avoid costly medical care.
- Immunizations help prevent/lessen illnesses.
- Immunizations help avoid expensive hospital stays.
