PEDIATRICIAN, DOCTOR MONIQUE COLLIER NICKLES [LIKE "NICKELS"], TALKS ABOUT THE
IMPORTANCE OF VACCINATING YOUR CHILDREN...
(COLLIER NICKLES):
"AS A PEDIATRICIAN HERE IN NEW YORK CITY,
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 AFRICAN-AMERICAN CHILDREN, AGED 19- TO 35-MONTHS, IN NEW YORK
CITY--APPROXIMATELY 45-POINT-TWO-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 "VACCINATE-N-Y-C-BABIES"-DOT-COM.
THIS MESSAGE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE "'N-DOUBLE-A-C-P' NEW YORK
STATE CONFERENCE"--IN PARTNERSHIP WITH "PFIZER".
