(ARA) - It's that time of year again -- the end of summer heralds the return to reading, writing and ‘rithmatic. Getting ready for "back to school" means more than buying school supplies -- it means getting your child immunized against dangerous diseases, including measles, mumps, and polio. Many states have rigid requirements about which immunizations are required before attending school; even some colleges require booster shots.
Immunization is one of the most effective ways of preventing disease. Prior to widespread immunization in the United States, infectious diseases killed or disabled thousands each year. Preparing early and getting your child immunized can prevent a frantic call to your pediatrician once school gets underway.
You can protect your child by taking him or her to a doctor or public health clinic for immunizations. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends vaccinations through the first 18 years, and many school systems require a full course of shots as well.
Yet, some parents are afraid shots will hurt their child. Thanks to Gebauer's Ethyl Chloride Pain-Ease, immunization doesn't have to be painful. Just before giving the injection, the doctor or nurse can spray the anesthetic directly onto the child's skin, cooling and numbing the area, then swabbing the target area with antiseptic and quickly performing the injection. This eases anxiety for both parent and child -- there will be no bad memories of painful shots or anxiety over the next inoculation. The Ethyl Chloride Pain-Ease anesthetic effect wears off in about two minutes with virtually no side effects.
