16 Important Vaccinations That Must Be Given To Your Baby

For parents, raising a child comes with many decisions. From ensuring that their baby gets the best of everything be it education or lifestyle, to providing a nurturing environment where the baby can continue to grow happily, they do everything in their power to make life easier for their child. But, sometimes, though unintentional, they tend to miss out on the most basic and important precaution that they need to take, in order to keep their baby safe & healthy, and that is immunization. Since a child's body needs time to create antibodies on its own, immunizing your newborn baby is one of the simplest and effective ways of protecting your child from harmful infections and certain diseases. Administering vaccine shots, at regular intervals, helps to create sufficient antibodies, which will assist your child to fight off illnesses that could prove to be life-threatening. Moreover, vaccines are safe, as they are rigorously and carefully reviewed by scientists and doctors before they are given to children. However, more often than not, most parents are unaware of all the vaccinations that their child needs to take. Also, due to this ignorance, most of them are often unsure as to what age their child needs to take a particular vaccine. For instance, did you know that BCG vaccine is the first vaccination that is given to a child at birth? Or were you aware that DTaP Vaccine, can protect your child against three deadly diseases - diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis? No? Well, fret not, because you might not be the only parent. However, vaccine tends to work best at a certain age and hence, following a vaccination schedule is of utmost importance for the well-being of your child. Therefore to help you out with this problem, here is a comprehensive vaccines infographic that'll hopefully answer all your vaccination queries.
