National Infant Immunization Week 2025

The DuPage County Health Department (DCHD) reminds us that vaccines are one of the most effective tools we have to prevent serious illnesses during a child's earliest and most vulnerable years. Diseases like whooping cough (pertussis), chickenpox, measles, mumps, and rubella can cause severe complications in young children-but thanks to vaccines, many of these threats are now preventable.

To support families, DCHD offers childhood immunizations through the Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program, which provides vaccines at no cost to eligible children who are uninsured, underinsured, or enrolled in Medicaid. The goal is simple: make sure every child has access to life-saving immunizations, regardless of their family's ability to pay.

Families can learn more about immunization services by contacting DCHD at 630-682-7400 or visiting www.dupagehealth.org/334/Immunizations. To find other VFC providers, visit vfc.illinois.gov/search/.
