SUMMARY: In this week’s Wellness Wednesday segment, Dr. Amber G, a pediatrician from Children’s Clinic in Tupelo, discusses the significance of vaccinations during National Immunization Awareness Month. She emphasizes that vaccines are crucial for protecting young children, who are particularly vulnerable, starting at two months of age. Dr. G notes that while some diseases, like measles, can resurface due to low vaccination rates, many illnesses can be prevented through effective vaccinations. She encourages parents to stay informed, ask questions, and prioritize immunizations to avoid unnecessary suffering and ensure the health and safety of their children.

It is National Immunization Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about why vaccines are important for people of all ages, especially our youngest Mississippians.
