IMMUNIZATIONS

              


The Clinton County Immunization Program

From children to senior citizens, timely immunizations are one of the most important ways to protect yourself and others for life from serious diseases. Vaccines are among the twentieth century's most successful and cost-effective public health tools for preventing disease and death. Today, there are few visible reminders of the suffering, injuries, and premature deaths caused by diseases that are now preventable with vaccines. Thanks to immunization, diseases that were once commonplace are now only distant memories for most Americans.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, there were only five vaccines available to protect against diseases. Vaccines are now available to protect children and adults against life-threatening or debilitating disease including diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, measles, chickenpox, rubella, mumps, polio, hemophilus influenza type b, influenza, pneumococcal infection and hepatitis B, among others.

Immunizations are not just kid's stuff either. As an adult, you need to be protected against such preventable diseases as measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, diphtheria, pneumococcal disease, influenza and hepatitis B. Your best protection against these diseases is immunizations. College students also need immunizations against measles and meningococcal disease. (source: NY State Health Dept)
