-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(OPEN):
THE FIRST YEAR OF A BABY'S LIFE IS FILLED WITH MANY NEW
EXPERIENCES--AND AN ABUNDANCE OF JOY. AND, WITH THAT, COMES MANY MILESTONES TO CELEBRATE.
ALONG THE WAY, WE DOCUMENT ALL THE USUAL "FIRSTS"--FROM FIRST FOODS AND SMILES, TO CRAWLING AND, EVENTUALLY, FIRST
STEPS--AND PROUDLY SHARE THEM WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY. BUT, ONE OF THE MOST-IMPORTANT
MILESTONES--VACCINATION--OFTEN GOES UNACKNOWLEDGED. PHYSICIAN, PARENT, AND T-V PERSONALITY,
DOCTOR JENNIFER ARNOLD, EXPLAINS...
(ARNOLD):
"AS PARENTS,
IT'S OUR SHARED MISSION TO KEEP OUR BABIES HAPPY, HEALTHY, AND THRIVING.
AND, AS A PHYSICIAN WHO SPECIALIZES IN TREATING VERY SICK BABIES, I'VE SEEN FIRST-HAND WHAT CAN HAPPEN TO BABIES WHO
AREN'T VACCINATED--AND JUST HOW DEVASTATING VACCINE-PREVENTABLE DISEASES CAN BE.
THAT'S WHY I'M SO EXCITED TO KICK OFF 'VACCI-NATION'--A NATIONAL CAMPAIGN TO RECOGNIZE AN IMPORTANT WAY [THAT] PARENTS HELP PROTECT THEIR BABIES, AND CELEBRATE THEIR MILESTONES.
WITH THIS PROGRAM, I HOPE [THAT] PARENTS RECOGNIZE [THAT] THEIR DECISION TO VACCINATE IS MORE THAN JUST A CHECKMARK AT THE
DOCTOR'S OFFICE: IT'S NOT ONLY A CRUCIAL STEPPING-STONE TO HELP SET THEIR BABY UP FOR A HEALTHY
BEGINNING--BUT, ACCORDING TO THE 'C-D-C', [IT ALSO] HELPS PROTECT OTHERS IN THE COMMUNITY AGAINST SERIOUS ILLNESSES.
NOW, THAT'S SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE."
