Immunizations
Viridian, Arlington, Texas
Vaccinations are an essential preventive aspect of pediatric care, offering protection for your child against serious diseases. At Viridian MD, we adhere to the vaccine schedules and recommendations provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to ensure maximum protection for your child.
How Do Vaccines Work?
Vaccinations offer a safe and effective way to protect children against infectious diseases by essentially training their immune systems to recognize and fight off disease-causing germs. They typically contain antigens, which are substances that prompt the immune system to produce antibodies.
When a child is exposed to the antigen in the future, their immune system will remember it and attack it quickly and forcefully, limiting the severity of the illness or preventing it altogether. At Viridian MD, we encourage parents to consider immunizations because some disease-causing organisms can overwhelm a child's immune system before it can naturally produce an adequate response.
Which Vaccines Will Your Child Need?
Immunizing your child begins shortly after birth. Dr. Khaira will review your child's vaccination records during each well visit. She will recommend any needed vaccines based on the CDC and AAP guidelines. Dr. Khaira will ensure your child stays current on any required immunizations for maximum protection against preventable diseases.

Are Vaccines Safe for Children?
Parents often express concerns about vaccine safety. While all sorts of information can be found online, the consensus among most leading health professionals confirms the safety of vaccines and their importance in preventing serious diseases. Historically, infectious diseases have significantly impacted populations worldwide. Today, thanks to widespread vaccination, many illnesses that afflicted past generations, such as chicken pox or polio, no longer pose a threat here in America.
