We can't emphasize enough the importance of routine vaccinations for children. Vaccines are the most effective and most economical way to prevent deadly diseases - they helped us exterminate the scourge of smallpox and nearly eliminate polio.
Diane Rehm's show from February 2 talks about the fear associated with vaccines and addresses much of the misinformation surrounding them. I encourage everyone to listen to this important program in order to understand the truth about vaccines and the risks we face as a society by choosing not to vaccinate our children against preventable illnesses.

If you or your child are not up-to-date on routine vaccines--particularly for critical illnesses such as whooping cough--please call Passport Health to schedule an appointment today.
