Forms & Immunizations 表格和免疫问答 Q & A
Why are pediatric immunizations important?
Immunizations keep people healthy. Getting vaccinated helps your child stay healthy throughout their life, reduces the spread of many preventable diseases, and improves the health of the community.
Many preventable diseases - like tetanus, measles, and polio - were once common causes of early death in the United States. But thanks to immunization technology, those diseases are far less common today. Certain diseases can still be brought in from other countries, but immunizations help protect your child, family, and the people around you.
Some parents are concerned about the safety of certain vaccinations. Dr. Nie has training in immunizations, and she can answer any questions you might have about your child’s well-being.
What immunizations does my child need?
Your child’s immune system evolves as they grow, and the immunizations they need depend on their age, health, and the immunizations they’ve already had. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has a recommended vaccination schedule for all children based on age. It includes vaccinations like:
- Chickenpox (varicella)
- Hepatitis A and B
- Influenza
- Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR)
- Polio
This schedule helps ensure that your child gets the immunizations they need when they’re most effective. Some immunizations require multiple doses to be effective.
What forms might I need completed for my child?
Many children need proof of immunization or good health to participate in organized activities like sports and attend school. Dr. Nie fills out any forms to clear your child for their activities.
She is also USCIS certified to complete the I-693 form for immigration and can also do the medical exams and paperwork other agencies or organizations require.
She can also fill out forms for WIC, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. This program provides federal grants to states so they can provide supplemental food, health care referrals, and nutrition education to low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age five who are at nutritional risk.
Dr. Nie offers all the necessary immunizations for children and fills out any required forms. Contact Nie Lina MD PC online or over the phone today.
