"AS A PEDIATRICIAN HERE IN WASHINGTON, D-C,
I'VE SEEN FIRST-HAND THE SERIOUS IMPACT [THAT] VACCINE-PREVENTABLE DISEASES CAN HAVE ON OUR CHILDREN.
THE 'C-D-C' RECOMMENDS A VACCINATION-SCHEDULE THAT HELPS PROTECT AGAINST 14 SERIOUS DISEASES, BEFORE THE AGE OF TWO.
ACCORDING TO THE 'NATIONAL IMMUNIZATION SURVEY'--AMONG AFRICAN-AMERICAN CHILDREN, AGED 19- TO 35-MONTHS,
NATIONWIDE--APPROXIMATELY 34-PERCENT HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE FULL SERIES OF SEVEN OF THE
'C-D-C'S' MOST-COMMON RECOMMENDED CHILDHOOD-VACCINES. GETTING OUR CHILDREN
VACCINATED--WITH ALL DOSES, AT THE SCHEDULED TIMES--IS ONE OF THE MOST-IMPORTANT STEPS [THAT] WE CAN TAKE, TO HELP PROTECT THEM FROM SERIOUS ILLNESSES."

FAMILIES WITHOUT VACCINE-INSURANCE COVERAGE MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR VACCINES AT REDUCED OR NO
COST--THROUGH THE "VACCINES FOR CHILDREN"-PROGRAM, OR
