Effective Date: April 1, 2004 - June 30, 2018 (This section obsolete as of July 1, 2018)

Immunizations are one of the most effective ways to prevent childhood disease and death.  Childhood vaccines prevent nine infectious diseases:  polio, measles, diphtheria, mumps, pertussis (whooping cough), rubella (German measles), tetanus, Hemophilus influenza type b (the most common cause of spinal meningitis) and hepatitis-B.  A child needs to receive his or her primary vaccine series by age two.  Immunizations are available as part of the CHEC well-child visit, or can be obtained outside the CHEC visit.
