DOCTOR MARA MÍNGUEZ, TALKS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF VACCINATING YOUR CHILDREN...
(MÍNGUEZ):
"AS A PEDIATRICIAN HERE IN NEW YORK,
I'VE SEEN FIRST-HAND HOW DEVASTATING VACCINE-PREVENTABLE DISEASES CAN BE, TO 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 HISPANIC CHILDREN, AGED 19- TO 35-MONTHS,
NATIONWIDE--APPROXIMATELY 30-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."
(CLOSE):
FAMILIES WITHOUT VACCINE-INSURANCE COVERAGE MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR VACCINES AT REDUCED OR NO
COST--THROUGH THE "VACCINES FOR CHILDREN"-PROGRAM, OR
"V-F-C". LEARN MORE AT "VAX-N-Y-C-BABIES"-DOT-COM;
