Wondering if it’s safe to delay your child’s vaccines? In this Short, UC Davis Children’s Hospital pediatric infectious disease expert Dr. Dean Blumberg explains why sticking to the recommended vaccine schedule matters—especially for vaccines like DTaP, Hib, and PCV. He breaks down why these early vaccines are timed to protect babies when they’re most vulnerable to serious infections such as pertussis (whooping cough) and meningitis.
