Help Your Members’ Children Catch Up on Wellness

Many children had their routine vaccinations delayed due to the COVID‑19 pandemic. And that puts them at risk for developing a host of serious and preventable diseases like measles, polio and whooping cough (pertussis).

It’s time to catch up. At well‑child visits, children can get caught up on the vaccines they may have missed.

Remind your members about the importance of childhood immunizations and preventive care by sharing this information. Review the CDC‑recommended vaccine schedule for children and teens at certain ages.
