Question
Why are infants vaccinated according to fixed time schedule?
✓
Answer
Vaccination is done to protect the child against diseases. 1. If a baby is vaccinated by true vaccine schedule, that baby will have immunity to over 14 diseases by the age of two. With the recommended schedule, babies visit their doctor 5 times in the first 15 months and receive protection against upto 14 diseases in as little as 18 shots. 2. We immunize children so young against these diseases because infancy is the time period that kids are most vulnerable to life threatening diseases. 3. It is not advisable to skip or delay vaccines as this will leave the child vulnerable to disease for a longer period of time.
