Childhood Vaccines

Vaccines or immunizations are the reason few people have seen a child with polio, German measles, or whooping cough. At the same time, concerns about vaccine side effects have led some parents to avoid vaccinating their children, resulting in outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases. There are currently 12 vaccines recommended for children between birth and 18 years of age. 

Common Cold Causes

What Causes a Common Cold?

The cold is a common infection of the upper respiratory tract. Although many people think you can catch a cold by not dressing warmly enough in the winter, it is a myth that you can catch the common cold from exposure to chilly weather. The real culprit is one of more than 200 viruses.
The common cold is spread when you inhale virus particles from an infected person’s sneeze, cough, speech, or loose particles from when they wipe their nose. You can also pick up the virus by touching a contaminated surface that an infected individual has touched. Common areas include doorknobs, telephones, children’s toys, and towels. According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), rhinoviruses (which cause the most colds) can live up to three hours on hard surfaces and hands.
