Immunizing your child should be your first step, before he takes his.

Many young parents are becoming careless about vaccination in the mistaken notion that childhood diseases are virtually nonexistent. They are’t.

Right now, doctors are discovering cases of mumps, diphtheria, whooping cough, measles and rubella. Even polio.

At Metropolitan Life, we know how important immunization is for your children. In fact, we’ve been reminding people for decades.

So arrange with your family doctor for your children’s immunizations. It requires only a few visits.

And keep your own immunization records. You can obtain a record card (and immunization booklet if you wish) by simply calling your local Metropolitan office or representative or by writing to "IMU," Metropolitan Life, 1 Madison Avenue, New Your, N.Y. 10010.

Ask you r doctor to enter on the card every immunization your children receive and put it away for safekeeping.

Immunization is one of the most important things you can do for your children. And the time to do it is now.
