Immunizations
Available at all Valcourt Pediatrics locations, including Augusta, Walterboro, Aiken, and Ridgeland.
Immunizations safely and effectively protect against potentially harmful diseases and illnesses. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that childhood immunizations save about four million lives each year.
Vaccines help keep your child healthy by protecting them from preventable illnesses during their early years. They gently train the immune system and give your little one the best start toward a safe, thriving future.
Preparing for your immunization appointment can help ease your child’s anxieties. Before visiting Valcourt Pediatric Associates:
- Pack your child’s favorite toy, book, or comfort item
- Try relaxation techniques, like deep breathing
- Stay calm and foster a stress-free environment
- Tell your child what to expect
- Reward and praise
