If you have just been told your baby has Spina Bifida or if you’ve recently learned your baby has Spina Bifida, the first thing we want you to know is that you are not alone.💙 If you are feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, confused, conflicted – these feelings are normal, and you’re allowed to experience all of these without judgment.

Your immune system is designed to have a “memory” of previous infections. When your body encounters a microbe that has previously caused an infection, it enhances its production of white blood cells and antibodies to prevent infection a second time. When you get vaccinated, you “trick” your body into thinking that it has been infected by a particular microbe—thus boosting its own defenses against infection. The majority of Americans who die each year from vaccine-preventable diseases are adults. Get the shots you need to protect yourself. Vaccines are a very effective way to prevent the suffering (and costs) associated with vaccine-preventable infections, including the flu, pneumonia, human papillomavirus (HPV), and hepatitis B. Learn which vaccines you need to stay healthy. Vaccines are among the safest medical products available. The potential risks associated with the diseases these vaccines prevent are much greater than the potential risks associated with the vaccines themselves. The most common side effects are sore arms and low-grade fevers. #InfectionPrevention #CHCS #GPCA
