Childhood immunizations

Childhood immunizations consist of vaccines made of weakened or "killed" versions of certain disease-causing bacteria and viruses. They stimulate the child's immune system to build up antibodies to the diseases, and make it much less likely the child ever will contract the disease.

Immunizations for the first year cost at least $620, while the average total cost for all vaccines needed during childhood and adolescence is about $1,170. The total cost includes the cost of the vaccine itself and administration by a health care professional.
