| | Frequently Asked Questions About Immunizations |
| | Another good source of information about immunizations, including which ones your child needs, is your child's doctor or your local health department if you've had problems finding a doctor for your child. | | | Because vaccines work by protecting the body before disease strikes, if you wait until your child gets sick, it will be too late for the vaccine to work. | | | Your child's body practices fighting the disease by making antibodies that recognize specific parts of that germ. |

| | A database will be available for health care providers to monitor the immunization status of their patients by allowing them to enter immunization related data into a common system and to access comprehensive immunization information at the time they see a child, regardless of where the immunizations were obtained in the past. | | | The KIDS registry can assist providers in numerous ways: ascertain a child's immunization history regardless of where in Philadelphia the child received the immunization; generate recall letters/postcards to reach the parents/guardians of children who are overdue; and determine a practice's up-to-date immunization rates. | | | The Project's mission is to reinforce the medical relationship for all children in Erie County through well baby care and immunizations, to enhance communication among providers of immunizations, to coordinate service delivery, and to improve immunization rates in Erie County. |

| | Immunization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Immunization, or immunisation, is the process by which an individual is exposed to an agent that is designed to fortify his or her immune system against that agent. | | | Immunization is different from inoculation or vaccination in that inoculation and vaccination use a viable infecting agent (i.e., it can make the individual sick) while immunization does not use a viable agent. | | | When the human immune system is exposed to a disease once, it can develop the ability to quickly respond to a subsequent infection. |
