Immunization Schedule for Newborns

The Pediatric Center offers immunizations in Many, and Leesville, LA, for newborns and children of all ages. Dr. Robert Crowe and his medical team help defend your smallest family members from infectious illnesses with vaccinations. Keep reading about vaccinations for newborns and come see us to help defend your child.

Immunizations are so important for newborns because their immune systems are not as strong as a fully developed, adult immune system. Newborns get some immunity from their mother in the third trimester and from breastmilk, but it fades quickly and they need the protection of vaccines to stay healthy.

It's normal for parents to worry any time their child needs to have a shot, but vaccines are completely safe and very effective at preventing potentially serious illnesses. If you have any concerns we can discuss how safe they are for your child. Your baby can receive more than one vaccine at a time safely.

First doses of the hepatitis B vaccine are given within 24 hours of birth before the baby has left the hospital. Your return to your pediatrician in Many, LA, or Leesville, LA, for the second dose before the baby is two months.

Other vaccinations your newborn should receive by two months include shots for Tetanus, Polio, Rotavirus, Diptheria, Hib, and Pneumococcal vaccines. These vaccines all require a second dose at four months and a third dose at six months. At six months there will be a new round of recommended vaccinations.

The Pediatric Center in Many, & Leesville, LA, is here to help keep your whole family healthy and make sure your newborn receives all recommended immunizations. To make an appointment with Dr. Robert Crowe, contact us at (337) 239-2207 for Leesville, LA, and (318) 431-5100 for Many, LA.
