?National Infant Immunization Week (NIIW) is April 26 - May 3, 2014. NIIW celebrates the successes of immunization programs around the country and highlights the importance of vaccines?.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) joins many other public health organizations in urging parents, caregivers, and healthcare providers to ensure that infants are fully immunized against 14 vaccine-preventable diseases. 

Dr. David Hill joins the show to answer top questions pediatricians get from parents regarding vaccines.
