Did you know that between birth and age two, your child should receive immunizations to protect against 14 potentially deadly diseases?

In a time when global travel allows germs to spread quickly, children need to be immunized for protection against diseases such as polio, hepatitis, chicken pox and measles.

Just 77.8 percent of Washington children (ages 19-35 months) are fully immunized with five recommended vaccines, placing Washington 42nd nationally in childhood immunization rates.

You can protect your children and help make Washington the Healthiest State in the Nation by ensuring that your kids are up-to-date on their immunizations.
