How can I help my child stay free from illness?

There are many websites with guidelines for preventing your child from getting infections. A selection of them are listed below:

The University of Michigan Health System website provides a comprehensive guide to preventing infection in your child.
The US Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) has a section of its website dedicated to Child Health
The Netdoctor site has a page that outlines the most common childhood diseases, symptoms and treatment.
As these sites explain, an important way to help prevent your child from getting infections is by vaccination. The NHS Direct immunisation information can be found on the NHS Direct site and the immunisation schedule for your child is on the Public Health Laboratory Service (PHLS) website.
