Importance of Vaccines

Immunizations are the process of getting a vaccine to protect against disease. Vaccines work by stimulating the body's immune system to create immunity. In Texas, children must have the required immunizations to enroll in public or private schools. These vaccines include: 

DTaP: Diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis (whooping cough)

Polio: Inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) or oral polio vaccine (OPV)

HepB: Hepatitis B vaccine

Hib: Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine

PCV: Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine

MMR: Measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines combined

Varicella: Chickenpox vaccine

HepA: Hepatitis A vaccine


How immunizations work 

- Vaccines are the most effective way to protect against serious illness.
