Vaccination is a small disease, but it protects children`s organism from further
troubles. However, some parents keep on doubting it. Do our children need vaccination?
And if yes, then why?

What are prophylactic vaccinations?

During vaccination, doctors inject a special vaccine in organism. No matter how
paradoxical it may sound, but a baby receives a “useful dose” of disease. In response
to this, his organism produces special cells (antibodies), they protect a baby
from sickness. This way immunity is formed. Vaccinated babies don`t catch infection,
and even if he does, infections proceeds its normal course and easily.

Treat the first vaccinations of your baby with responsibility. As a baby will
receive a majority of them from 0 to 12 months (see calendar of vaccinations).
It`s interesting, that a baby is usually born with immunity to some certain infections.
Immunity to infections is inherited from mother (in a belly antibodies come to
a fetus, and then to a new-born baby through milk). But this immunity is temporary,
it fade away by the end of the first year of life. Here a baby`s health needs
an active support. As whooping-cough, diphtheria, tetanus, poliomyelitis, tuberculosis
and other infections are fatal illnesses.

Don`t worry that the same vaccines have to be injected several times. They are
not “weak”. It`s because active immunity for some illnesses is kept not for the
whole life, but can protect only for several years or even months.

Reaction on injection of an “infection” into a baby`s organism often frightens
parents.

 

Don`t be frightened, it`s just better to prepare

Remember, you can require an instruction to a vaccine on legal ground, to assure
in its convenience.

After vaccination:

Restrict time of communication with people. A baby is producing immunity, and
his organism is busy with this problem, so other microbes are unwanted now.
