Vaccines: Why babies need them and how they work

Kristin Bencik-Boudreau, DO, Pediatrician Oct 06, 2022

Vaccines, or immunizations, are a routine part of a baby’s early pediatrician appointments, but many parents have questions. In this episode, Kristin Bencik-Boudreau, DO, a pediatrician at the Children’s Wisconsin Bayshore Pediatrics primary care office, answers questions about how vaccines work, why they’re given at certain ages, and which illnesses they protect your baby against, and arms you with myth-busting information that will help you make informed decisions about your baby’s immunizations and healthcare. Listen to learn all about your baby’s vaccine schedule and why it matters in this episode of Healthy Baby, Happy Parent from Children’s Wisconsin.
