Why Immunize?

Communicable diseases are becoming rare due to vaccinations. Unless we can completely eliminate the disease, it is important to keep immunizing. Vaccinations protect against the risk of disease infection by causing the immune system to develop antibodies that may help fight the actual disease in the future.

Several vaccinations are available at DHD4, including, but not limited to, Hepatitis A & B, DTaP, Hib, Influenza, HPV, MMR, Tdap, Varicella, and Pneumococcal.

DHD4 works with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in reducing vaccine-preventable diseases by providing free or affordable immunizations to all people from birth through adulthood.
