Chianti Classico from Villa Calcinaia is the truest expression o f a fam ily's pride and sense o f history.

Since the start of widespread • Medication Management vaccinations in the United States, the numbers of formerly conimon 8121 Ulley Road • Daily Housekeeping & Laundry Canton, Michigan 48187 childhood illnesses have declined dramatically. Immunizations • Beauty & Barber Shop (Located between Joy & Warren Roads) have protected millions of kids from potentially deadly diseases • Wander Secured/Enclosed Courtyard and saved thousands of lives. Since certain diseases crop up so rarely now, it’s a common misconception to think vaccines are no longer necessary. The truth is most diseases which are preventable still exist in the www.CrystaiCreekAssisteciLiving.com world. Vaccinations still play a crucial role in keeping kids healthy. Unfortunately, misinformation about vaccines could make some parents decide not to immunize their children, putting them and others at a greater risk for illness. It’s important to have your children up-to-date on all of their immunizations.

Q: Will my child’s immune system be weakened because of a vacc\ne? A: No, the immune system makes antibodies against a germ, like the chickenpox virus, whether it encounters it naturally or is exposed to it through a vaccine. Being vaccinated against one disease doe^ not weaken the immune response to another disease.

Q: W ill the immunization give someone the very disease it’s supposed to prevent? A: This is one of the most common concerns about vaccines. However, it’s impossible to get the disease from any vaccine made with dead (killed) bacteria or viruses or just part of the bacteria or virus. Only those immunizations made from weakened live viruses — like the chickenpox (varicella) or measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine — could possibly make a child develop a mild form of the disease, but it’s almost always much less severe than the illness that occurs when someone is infected with the disease-causing virus itself. However, for kids with weakened immune systems, such as those being treated for cancer, these vaccines may cause problems.
