Pinellas County, Florida -- Each year, thousands of children become ill from diseases that could have been prevented by basic childhood immunizations. Many more miss time from day care and school because they are under-immunized or inappropriately immunized.

Vaccines protecting children from diseases such as measles, whooping cough and polio are administered on a regular schedule as part of a child's course of care. Pediatricians, health providers and county health departments can provide vaccines at no cost to parents as part of the Vaccines for Children program.
