Children and Immunization

Week of August 30, 2010

Today, children typically receive vaccinations for 14 diseases. The Center for Disease Control has posted a childhood immunization schedule on the CDC website. Because many servicemembers and families move frequently, ensuring your child stays up to date with their vaccination schedule can be difficult. The Military Vaccine (MILVAX) Agency has created the MILVAX Immunization Clinic Finder where you can locate public DoD immunization clinics in your area. Visit the MILVAX website for news, education, and resources information on specific vaccination guidance and on general prevention measures.
