Growing Up with Vaccines: What Should Parents Know?
Why Vaccinate?
On-time vaccination throughout childhood is essential because it helps provide immunity before children are exposed to potentially life-threatening diseases. Vaccines are tested to ensure that they are safe and effective for children to receive at the recommended ages.
Get Vaccinated Ohio

Travel Safely with Up-To-Date Vaccinations
Travel increases the risk of exposure to diseases which may be uncommon in the US and spreading them from one country to another. For example, polio has been eliminated in the US, but is still found in other countries, and US travelers may be at risk while traveling.
With planning, the risk of infections when traveling can be decreased. A well-planned trip includes more than renewing passports, booking flights, and finding someone to watch the dog. Planning should include making an appointment for a pre-travel medicine assessment at least 1 month before traveling. This is because:
- Some vaccines require multiple doses and take time to achieve full effectiveness
- Some vaccines are recommended, and some are required
- Some medications need to be taken before travel to provide full protection.
The health risks of traveling will vary for each person and each trip. A personalized pre-travel assessment ensures that key factors such as age, vaccination history, underlying conditions, current medications, prior travel experience, and trip details are being considered. Public Health – Dayton and Montgomery County has appointments for personalized pre-travel assessments.
A pre-travel assessment will consider a person’s vaccination status and destination, medications that may be required, and an evaluation of the types of behaviors and exposures expected during the trip.
When planning a trip, in addition to renewing passports, booking flights, and holding the mail, remember to make an appointment at a travel medicine clinic at least 1 month before departure.
Public Health - Dayton & Montgomery County has appointments for personalized pre-travel assessments and is one of only two authorized Yellow Fever Vaccine centers in Montgomery County. Call Public Health’s Immunization Clinic at (937) 225-4550 to schedule an appointment.
