- A Resource About Child Immunization Schedules

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Keeping up with the immunization schedules of children is a confusing task for
- even the most attentive parent. Over time, schedules change, new vaccines are
- developed, and it is hard to be sure all the proper vaccinations have been
- given on time. A new Stay Well Series booklet from Metropolitan Life Insurance
- Company , "Immunization: When and Why" can help parents make sure their
- children have all the necessary vaccinations at the proper times. The pamphlet
- offers clear-cut explanations of the importance of early immunization, what
- vaccinations and booster doses are necessary for all children, and when they
- must be given. A suggested immunization schedule is most helpful.
- There is also a discussion of optional vaccinations that adults may need
- to consider for themselves. New recommendations for measles and
- tetanus-diphtheria toxoid are included.
- Single copies of the booklet are available free of charge by sending your
- request and a stamped self addressed 8 1/2 X 11 envelope to "Immunization:
- When and Why" Health and Safety Education, Area 16-UV, Metropolitan Life
- Insurance Company, One Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10010.
