VACCINATION

Vaccination is one of the most important and effective ways to protect your child from a wide range of potentially serious and life-threatening infectious diseases. It involves the administration of a vaccine, which contains a weakened or inactivated form of a specific germ (virus or bacteria), or parts of it. This stimulates the child’s immune system to recognize and fight off the infection—without actually causing the disease itself.

Vaccines train the immune system to develop natural defenses, such as antibodies, so that if the child is later exposed to the actual disease, their body is already prepared to fight it off quickly and effectively. This not only protects the vaccinated child but also helps build community immunity (herd immunity), safeguarding others—especially newborns and those with weakened immune systems—who may not yet be vaccinated.
