NCCHS provides recommended infant immunizations to help protect your baby from serious diseases. Learn what vaccines your child needs and how to schedule an appointment. Infant Immunizations Vaccines are one of the safest and most effective ways to protect your baby from serious illnesses early in life. At Nemaha County Community Health Services (NCCHS), we follow the CDC’s recommended immunization schedule to ensure your child receives timely protection against diseases like whooping cough, measles, polio, and more. Our team is here to support you with trusted information, compassionate care, and answers to any questions you may have about vaccines. We know every family is different, and we’re committed to helping you make informed decisions that keep your child healthy and safe. You can schedule an immunization appointment by calling 785-284-2152. Not sure which vaccines your child is due for? Give us a call, and one of our nurses will be happy to help. RSV The RSV vaccine helps protect babies from serious illness caused by Respiratory Syncytial Virus, which can lead to trouble breathing, especially in infants and young children. It’s especially important for newborns, premature babies, and those with certain health conditions. Getting the vaccine—either mom during pregnancy or baby after birth—helps give your baby extra protection during RSV season. Learn More Rotavirus The rotavirus vaccine protects your baby from a common virus that causes severe diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration. It’s given by mouth, not a shot, and is only available during the first few months of life. Getting your baby vaccinated helps prevent hospital visits and keeps them feeling their best. Learn More Haemophilus Influenzae Type B The Hib vaccine protects your baby from Haemophilus influenzae type b, a bacteria that can cause serious infections like meningitis, pneumonia, and blood infections. These illnesses can be life-threatening, especially for babies and young children. The Hib vaccine helps keep your baby safe during the most vulnerable years. Learn More Inactivated Polio The IPV vaccine protects your baby from polio, a virus that can cause paralysis and even death. Although polio is rare in the U.S., it still exists in other parts of the world and can spread. Vaccinating your baby with IPV keeps them protected and helps prevent the return of this dangerous disease. Learn More Influenza The flu vaccine protects your baby from influenza, which can cause high fever, cough, body aches, and serious complications like pneumonia. Babies under 5—especially under 2—are at higher risk of being hospitalized from the flu. Getting the flu shot every year helps keep your baby safe during flu season. Learn More Varicella The varicella vaccine protects your child from chickenpox, a common illness that causes an itchy rash and fever. While chickenpox is usually mild, it can sometimes lead to serious complications like infections or pneumonia. Getting the vaccine helps keep your child safe and prevents the spread of this contagious disease to others. Learn More Meningococcal The meningococcal vaccine protects your child from meningitis, a serious infection that can cause inflammation of the brain and spinal cord coverings. This infection can come on quickly and be life-threatening. Getting the vaccine helps keep your child safe by preventing this dangerous disease. Learn More Hepatitis B The Hepatitis B (Hep B) vaccine protects your baby from a serious liver infection that can be lifelong. Because Hep B can be passed from mom to baby during birth, the first dose is recommended within 24 hours after birth. Starting the vaccine series early helps protect your baby right from the beginning. Learn More Diphtheria, Tetanus, and acellular Pertussis (DTap) The DTaP vaccine protects your baby from three serious diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough). Whooping cough can be especially dangerous for infants, causing coughing fits, trouble breathing, and even hospitalization. Starting the DTaP series on time helps build strong protection early in life. Learn More Pneumococcal Conjugate The PCV20 vaccine protect your baby from pneumococcal disease, which can cause ear infections, pneumonia, meningitis, and blood infections. These illnesses can be very serious in young children, especially babies. Getting the pneumococcal vaccine helps build strong protection against these infections early in life. Learn More COVID 19 The COVID-19 vaccine helps protect your baby from getting seriously sick from the coronavirus. Even though most children have mild symptoms, some can get very sick or develop complications. Getting your baby vaccinated adds an extra layer of protection as they grow and explore the world around them. Learn More Measles, Mumps, and Rubella The MMR vaccine protects your child from three serious diseases: measles, mumps, and rubella. These illnesses can lead to complications like pneumonia, brain swelling, or birth defects if caught during pregnancy. The MMR vaccine is a safe and effective way to keep your child—and your community—healthy. Learn More Hepatitis A The Hepatitis A vaccine protects your child from a virus that affects the liver and can cause symptoms like fever, stomach pain, and jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes). Hepatitis A spreads through contaminated food, water, or close contact with an infected person. Vaccinating your child helps prevent illness and keeps them healthy. Learn More
