From first smiles to first shots, your baby’ s early milestones deserve protection. Vaccines are tiny jabs with superhero impact – building immunity when it counts most.

The first year of your baby’ s life is filled with unforgettable milestones: first smile, first tooth, the first time you seriously consider investing in blackout curtains. But amid all the cuddles and chaos, one thing you can’ t afford to miss is your baby’ s vaccination schedule.

While no parent delights in the idea of needles, those tiny shots are doing big things. Vaccines are little immune-boosters with superhero energy, protecting your baby from serious diseases while their immune system is still developing.
“ Vaccines play a vital role in protecting your baby’ s health from day one,” says Murray Hewlett, CEO of Affinity Health.“ The first year includes a carefully scheduled set of vaccines designed to guard against life-threatening illnesses when your baby is most vulnerable.”
