Why Immunize?

Children start getting Immunizations just after they are born so their body can start building immunity to dangerous diseases.  The vaccines given to babies contains germs, but they are weakened so the child doesn't get ill. The weakened germs is why more than one dose of some vaccines is needed.   Children need to build up enough antibodies from the vaccines to be able to fight off disease.
