The appearance of vaccines is considered a great medical achievement of mankind because since the advent of vaccines, mankind has had the most effective and powerful weapon to actively prevent diseases. dangerous infectious diseases.
In the US, aware of the importance of using vaccines, most parents fully use vaccines for children as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), so that children are protected against 14 dangerous diseases before they are two years old. Using vaccines for children at the right time not only protects children but also increases the community's immunity, protecting those around them with weakened immune systems.

As with other recommendations for young children, the vaccine schedule recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been studied before being introduced to ensure safety and effectiveness in protecting children. young guard. The vaccine schedule is based on the child's immune system response to the vaccine at different ages, and what pathogens are common in young children.
This is to ensure that children will be protected against 14 dangerous diseases common in young children such as diphtheria, pertussis, polio, tetanus, hepatitis B, Hemophilus influenza, pneumonia, pneumococcal ear infections , meningitis, measles, tuberculosis, mumps, Japanese encephalitis, rubella, and typhoid. 95% of vaccinated children will form an immune system to protect the body against dangerous infectious diseases. There is no evidence that intermittent use of vaccines provides safe or effective protection against diseases.
2. Prevention of complications
Delaying the use of vaccines can make children vulnerable to diseases, especially when they can face dangerous complications.Using vaccines is like putting on a helmet for a child. Helmets provide children with protection against injuries, and timely vaccinations protect children against serious illnesses. Young children are the most at-risk for serious complications. of disease. Therefore, vaccination will reduce the risks of diseases such as complications, sequelae, and death compared to the unvaccinated group.

That's why leading experts pay special attention to the timing of vaccines for children. Vaccine schedules are designed to provide children with protection early in life, before they actually face potentially life-threatening illnesses.
4. Children need the highest level of protection and long-term protection. Creating conditions for children to grow up and develop comprehensively
Immunizations for children will avoid infectious diseases, children will develop healthily, without sequelae and malformations affecting the body and brain.Young children will not be able to get the best protection if they do not get all of the vaccines on the schedule and for the recommended number of times. Antibodies are transmitted from the mother and breast milk will not provide enough protection for the baby, because they only protect the baby for a short time after birth. A baby's immune system needs to fight off illnesses on its own, and the role of vaccines is to help protect them when the antibodies they received from their mother are gone.
Each vaccine has been carefully studied before it is approved to provide protection against specific diseases. Some vaccines require multiple administrations to provide optimal protection from an adequate immune response, or to fortify an immune response that has weakened over time. Using the vaccine more than once also prevents the child from producing enough antibodies after the first use. As for the flu, children need to be vaccinated every year because the flu virus mutates every year. Therefore, not only the vaccination schedule is important, but also the number of vaccination times is equally important.
5. Community benefits of vaccination
Unvaccinated children not only face the risk of disease, but also potentially pass the disease on to other unprotected people, such as newborn babies who have not yet received the vaccine. , immunocompromised people,... Using vaccines for children according to recommendations not only protects children but also helps protect those around them. Immunization not only helps protect a particular individual, but also helps prevent disease for the whole community. This is considered the most effective preventive measure to protect the health of the injectors and avoid the occurrence of major outbreaks affecting the health and life of the community.6.
