8/3/2018 0 Comments Is Your Child Immunized?Welcome to a new month! And a new month means there is something we have to keep an eye on. For August, it is National Immunization Awareness Month. With this in mind, it is time to get your child vaccinated! In Gastonia, NC, all available vaccine has already been tested, is safe, and is effective for 85% to 95% of children. Since there are needles, it would always scare a child. So, how can a parent help his or her child go through the process? Well first, you must know that babies cannot tell what's going on. However, they can do tell how you, as a parent, is feeling about what's going on. Thus, it becomes like a ripple effect. If you are anxious, then your baby will also feel anxious. So when it's time for your baby to get immunized, make sure that you are calm and cheerful for your baby. Second, you can bring some comforting items for your baby such as toys or a blanket. Lastly, make sure that you praise your baby after his or her shot. After a vaccination, if you see redness, soreness, or swelling, you can use a cool and damp washcloth to ease the discomfort. If your baby is still not immunized, you may opt to visit Gastonia Pediatric Associates. They are located in the west of Charlotte. They have been in the area for years serving three generations. If you want to know more or maybe you would want to already set an appointment for immunization, you may contact Gastonia Pediatric Associates today.
