Measles is on the rise in the United States. The volume of reported cases in the past six months is the highest it’s been since 1996.  And while the disease isn’t serious for most kids, it can prove fatal for a small percentage of children.

Protect your kids from preventable diseases—keep their vaccinations  up to date. If you have a baby or toddler, you’re probably very conscious of this. But did you know there are several vaccines your adolescents and teens should get, as well? Make sure they stay on track, with the Centers for Disease Control’s downloadable Child & Adolescent Immunization Schedules.
