Vaccines help prevent serious diseases in your baby
On-time vaccines are a very important part of helping a baby stay healthy. Diseases that don’t seem to be around much any more may begin to emerge when a larger section of the population is unvaccinated. Measles has recently seen a resurgence due to fewer people being vaccinated. Vaccines are safe, even if more than one is given at a time and even for most premature or low-birthweight babies. It is important to follow the CDC’s vaccine schedule for children up to age 18, including all boosters.
Key Takeaways:
- vaccines work not just on the person, but as a herd immunity.
- Infant can often get more than 1 vaccination at a time.
- Vaccines are extensively tested , for years, before tried on humans, and then made into a medical practice.
