VACCINE PREVENTABLE DISEASES

Immunization protects against the following 10 serious diseases, which can cause disability and death. These diseases used to strike thousands of children each year. Today there are relatively few cases, but outbreaks still occur each year because some babies are not immunized. For additional information about immunizations call the state of Illinois' Help Me Grow helpline at 1-800-323-GROW (voice and TTY) or the Illinois Department of Public Health's Immunization Program at 217-785-1455.
