Littleton, CO (prHWY.com) March 4, 2013 - Littleton, Colorado (February 7, 2013) - Focus on Kids Pediatrics is once again putting the spotlight on the value of getting vaccination for infants and kids. The Littleton pediatrics center reminds parents to consider having their children immunized as scheduled and recommended, or whenever possible.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, infants ought to be vaccinated soon after their birth and in between their first to eighteenth month. The American Academy of Family Physicians, the Advisory Committee on Immunizations Practices, and the American Academy of Pediatrics agree on a series of vaccinations appropriate for the young patients.

It is ideal for children to receive the next set of vaccines from between two and six years of age. Meanwhile, the last set of vaccines can be given once the child reaches 11 to 12 years of age. With vaccination, the child's immunity can better react against ailments. Pediatricians can provide an array of vaccines and conduct screening procedures that help evaluate the overall health of their young patients.

With vaccination, the crushing effects of various diseases that may be experienced by a patient will no longer have an impact. Through years of research, today's generation is given better protection against various ailments. Professionals at Focus on Kids also inform parents and guardians on the benefits of having complete immunizations.

The practice offers vaccinations against diseases like diphtheria, hepatitis A, influenza, measles, mumps and rubella (MMR), Pneumococcal, tetanus, and polio, among many others.
