Keep Kids Healthy This School Year | Newark News

Health officials are warning that declining childhood vaccination rates nationwide put kids at risk for preventable illnesses—especially as schools reopen. With immunity building over weeks, getting shots before school starts helps kids stay healthy, avoid missed learning, and stay safe. Key vaccines for ages 4–6 include diphtheria, tetanus, chickenpox, polio, whooping cough, and MMR. Plus, don’t forget flu and COVID-19 shots in the fall—doctors and scientists agree these are still the most effective way to keep kids healthy all year.
