Vaccination Counselling Service
When it comes to vaccination, there is a lot of misinformation surrounding it in the world. This is the reason why parents are often sceptical about vaccines and often wonder what is right for their children.
To clarify the stance, babies are born with immunity against a few diseases because the mother passes on the antibodies to them before birth. Even breastfeeding delivers the baby’s body with a few antibodies they need to fight off a few types of general diseases. However, all of these are temporary.
In such cases, vaccinating your child is the best way to assure them a healthy future and correct growth. Immunization protects your child from harmful diseases that a newborn is fairly subjected to the risks of, especially during the first few months after birth.
Type of Vaccines
There are primarily four types or branches of vaccines that the babies are administered with. They include:
- Attenuated vaccine – These include a weakened strain of the live virus that is injected into a child’s body to protect them against severe diseases like measles, mumps and rubella.
- Killed vaccine – These include a deactivated form of the virus or bacteria that is injected in vaccines in IPV.
- Toxoid vaccine – These include the vaccines for diptheria and tetanus wherein an inactivated toxin produced by a bacterium is injected into the body.
- Conjugate vaccine – The fourth and last type includes the ones like Hib vaccine that contains parts of bacteria along with proteins.
