Guest(s) Dr. Paul A. Offit, MD Topic The Importance of Back to School Immunizations: Awareness & Prevention Topic Info Summer is over and our children are in school again! Is your child current on all their vaccines? Most of us are aware that Immunizations help our children’s immune system do its job. However, we sometimes procrastinate in making appointments with our child’s doctor. Vaccinations are equally as important as receiving them in a timely manner. Maybe its because it hurts us to see the crocodile tears role down their little faces or we are so busy that we will get to it next time. While most schools require proof of immunizations before the first day of school, we must realize staying up to date on our children’s vaccines offers greater protection against future infections. The good news is your child does not have to get sick first in order to receive vaccines. Please join us in discussing the importance of timely immunizations, awareness and prevention with Dr. Paul Offit, Chief of the Infectious Disease Division and Director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. He is a world renowned recognized expert in the fields of virology and immunology and was a member of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Don’t miss out on the chance to learn more on how we can protect our children. You do not want to miss this!
