Vaccines prevent A LOT of diseases. The time to find out whether you’re protected against all of them is before you’re exposed to one. That’s as easy as calling your doctor’s office. You don’t have to assume you’re immune. #VaccinateIndiana

It is safe and common for kids (and adults) to get more than one vaccine at the same time.

Children’s immune systems are exposed to more antigens every day than from the entire childhood vaccine schedule combined.
