One way to prevent serious illnesses is through the use of vaccinations. And for school-aged children, inoculations are necessary to enter school, minus for children with religious exemptions or health conditions that could interfere with the safety of the immunizations. At Children's Health Associates, serving Chicago, IL, and the nearby region, we can help your child stay up to date on vaccinations to prevent serious disease and keep your child school compliant.
