For Infants & Toddlers
Why should infants and young children be vaccinated?
Infants are particularly vulnerable to infectious diseases; that is why it is critical to protect them through immunization. Each day, nearly 12,000 babies are born in the United States who will need to be immunized before age two against 14 vaccine-preventable diseases. Immunizations help prevent the spread of disease and protect infants and toddlers against dangerous complications.
Immunization is one of the most important things a parent can do to protect their children’s health. Today we can protect children from 14 serious diseases. Failure to vaccinate may mean putting children at risk for serious diseases.
To learn more about protecting children from 14 serious diseases, visit the CDC’s information page for College Students and Young Adults
Young Children (2 - 10 Years old)
Protect Your Child
While vaccine-preventable childhood diseases are at near record or record low levels in the United States that does not mean these diseases have disappeared. Many of the viruses and bacteria are still circulating in this country or are only a plane ride away. That’s why it’s important that children, especially infants and young children receive recommended immunizations on time.

For Pre-Teens to Young Adults
In 2007 the Nevada State Board of Health revised state regulations relating to communicable diseases. The regulations mandate the following:
Visit the Nevada Administrative Codes 392.105, 394.190, 432A, 441A.755 web pages for more information about the regulations.
As kids get older, protection from some childhood vaccines begins to wear off. Plus, older kids can also develop risks for other diseases. Health check-ups and sports or camp physicals can be a good opportunity for your preteens and teens to get the recommended vaccines. For updated information about vaccines for Preteens and Teens, visit the CDC’s information page for Preteen and Teens.

For Adults & Healthcare Professionals
Vaccine Information for Adults
You never outgrow the need for vaccines. The specific immunizations you need as an adult are determined by factors such as your age, lifestyle, high-risk conditions, type and locations of travel, and previous immunizations. Throughout your adult life, you need immunizations to get and maintain protection against: flu, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, shingles, pneumococcal, HPV, etc.
For Healthcare Professionals
Access the recommended adult vaccination schedule by age group and in multiple formats including a download for your PDA. Review vaccines indicated for adults based on medical and other indications. Download print materials and tools to promote preventive care among adults in your care and to help improve adult vaccination rates.

For Travelers
If you’re planning to travel outside of the United States, it’s also important that you plan to update your immunizations. There are many diseases that are a risk to international travelers, and you may need to update your current immunizations or receive additional vaccines.
