| These are just a few of thousands of infants that have died or will
die every year from vaccine preventable diseases. We must all work
together to make sure we stop these diseases by educating our parents
and public on the diseases and the vaccines to prevent them. We must
support the research and development of new and better vaccines for the
future. Please follow ACIP/CDC recommendations and schedules for immunization and speak to your health care providers about your child's immunizations. No infant should die from a vaccine preventable disease, not in America or anywhere around the world. One simply has to walk around an old cemetery to see the value of vaccines. For many of us like myself, we just live with the pain of losing a child or caring for one that is debilitated from a disease that could have been prevented by vaccines.
