Walworth County Public Health Immunization Clinics:
Immunization Information; Immunizations are considered one of the greatest medical achievements for the 20th century. Vaccines prevent disease in people who receive them and protect those who come in contact with unvaccinated individuals. Diseases that once killed many children and adults are rarely seen today because of immunization. But these diseases are still around, especially in other parts of the world. Vaccination continues to be one of the most important things you can do to protect your child and yourself from dangerous diseases.
There are many good sources of immunization information available on the internet. Unfortunately, there is also a lot of false information to be found. The sites listed below have accurate, scientific information.
