Trophy Club Family Medicine is here to help your whole family stay healthy with vaccinations in Trophy Club, TX. Dr. David Yi, Dr. Paula Lansford Seabaugh, and Carol Addy, PAC administer vaccines to protect you and your children from diseases that can lead to lifelong complications.

What Is a Vaccine?

Vaccines play an important role in building immunity and keeping us healthy. Vaccines use a weakened form of a virus to introduce the disease to your body in a safe way. This kickstarts the body's normal immune response and builds up immunity naturally before you are ever exposed to the real virus.

It is normal for a parent to worry any time their child needs to have a shot. We can discuss how safe and effective vaccines are for your child if you have any questions.

Why Is Immunization Important?

Immunization is the process by which a person becomes protected against a disease through receiving a vaccination. You can still get sick from a virus, but if you have been vaccinated, for example, against the flu, symptoms will be much milder and not life-threatening.

When most of the population is vaccinated we achieve herd immunity, meaning there is less chance of a disease spreading within the population. This is important to protect unvaccinated babies and immunocompromised individuals.

What Vaccines Does My Child Need?

For vaccinations in Trophy Club, TX, your pediatrician will follow a recommended schedule from the CDC for children’s vaccinations from birth to the age of two, with additional doses of some vaccines into adolescence. Keeping up with well-child visits and annual physicals helps us ensure your child receives all recommended vaccinations.

Children and adults should also be vaccinated for the flu each year. Flu vaccines are developed based on predictions of the most common strains for the year, so your whole family should get vaccinated before the end of October.
