It isn’t only infants who need vaccinations. Grandparents that plan to care for their little bundle of joy should also take the time to guard against disease and illness and obtain two very important vaccines. Not only will these vaccines keep you healthy, they also ensure that baby is always healthy and thriving. What vaccines do you need?

Key Takeaways:

• Infants are at risk of serious complications from both whooping cough and the flu.
• Flu viruses change every year, so just because you got a flu shot last year, doesn’t mean that you are protected this year.
• It is especially important that people who will be around children younger than 6 months get the flu shot.

“Grandparents, caregivers, and anyone who is going to be in contact with your baby should be up to date on their vaccinations for cough and the flu.”
