CChildren are exposed to thousands of germs every day. This happens through the food they eat, the air they breathe, and the things they put in their mouth. Babies are born with protection against some diseases because their mothers pass antibodies (proteins made by the body to fight disease) to them before birth. Breastfed babies continue to get more antibodies in breast milk. But in both cases, the protection is temporary.
Used in their smallest but most effective form, vaccines boost a child’s natural defense against illness. Vaccines train the immune system to identify and fight off dangerous bacteria and viruses that invade the body. Children who are not vaccinated can transmit vaccine-preventable diseases at schools and in the community. Unvaccinated children can infect babies who are too young to be fully immunized. Unvaccinated children can infect people of any age.
Delay in vaccination is manageable by administering deferred doses as soon as it is feasible. Missed vaccination puts the child at risk of contracting infectious diseases.
Some vaccines may cause mild reactions, such as soreness where the shot was given or a fever. But serious reactions are rare. The risks of vaccinations are small compared with the health risks of the diseases they’re intended to prevent. Immunizations are one of the best ways to protect your family from contagious disease.
