The mechanism known as innate or natural immunization is passed down from parents to offspring in the mother’s womb itself and varies from species to species. The human body has an inbuilt defense system to counter many health related issues and problems, while some other diseases are countered by giving vaccination to the children after their birth.

Why you need to vaccinate your baby
As mentioned in the above video, it is exposing your baby’s body to a certain strain of bacteria or viruses so as to make its immune system develop immunity against such agents. In addition, try to include as many immunity boosting foods for your baby as possible, so that your baby can develop natural immunity against infections.
NOTE – As soon as you find that the baby has been affected by any kind of allergy or anything irritable, do not give another dose of the vaccine, may it be the first dose or consult your baby’s paediatrician for a better advise.
Some babies get the infection after been vaccinated against it. Do not panic, as that would only be the temporary one and will help your baby to build immunity against the particular bacteria or virus.
Things to remember during Vaccination
1. All vaccines are important. Never miss a vaccine for your child. If you miss a vaccine, approach your paediatrician. Sometimes vaccines can still be given, so do not hesitate to contact.
2. In case your child is having fever do not cure it with medicines and inform your doctor before immunization. Your doctor may reschedule.
3. Sometimes Doctors give you option of painful or painless vaccines. Know the difference between painful and painless vaccines to make an informed decision.
4. For some vaccines, it’s normal to get fever for a few days after administering. You can use a sponge bath to reduce the temperature or home remedies also works wonders in case the fever lasts for longer duration. Visit your doctor in case fever persists beyond that.
5. Have another family member or your spouse, assist you to distract and comfort your child while the shot is given. Carry your child’s favourite toy, blanket etc. to comfort them.
6. Sure that, you never want to miss out on a vaccine, how about downloading and saving the complete vaccination chart – This PDF has it all from – what age a vaccine should be given and their importance to their costs.

Hi,
My baby is 2 month 21 days old,during 6th week pcv is missed and 2 drops of rotavirus is also missed and in 10th week again pcv is missed.is there any possibility to give them now?
I was diagnosed with HepB 3 months ago and was devastated by the news. I have been ill and sore for over 10 years, with no one being able to figure out what was wrong with me. It was always written off as a virus or infection. Then 2 years ago the severe muscle cramps started. I had them from scalp to toes, and it was when they ran the full spectrum of tests to figure the cramps out, that they discovered the HepB along with severe Vitamin D deficiency, which I link to the HepB. I was so tired and nauseous and in constant pain. I am just sick and tired of feeling sick and tired!!nothing was really working to help my condition.I went off the Sebivo (with the doctor’s knowledge) and started on hepatitis B herbal formula i ordered from Health Herbal Clinic, my symptoms totally declined over a 5 weeks use of the hepatitis B virus natural herbal formula the disease is totally reversed!! Visit there website www. healthherbalclinic. net

My baby is 12 months old , i got a message from immune to vaccinate HEP A1 . Hepatitis A is not in Govt Vaccination Chart. is it equal to vitamin A?

My baby is 45 days and I go for vaccine tomorrow but today she is pooping more frequently for everyfeeding
Hi Nalini,
Frequent passing of stool is not much of a concern. If it is more than 10 times a day and is very watery then you should consult with your paediatrician. Else there is no reason to halt the vaccination.
Very very useful for a science student in these days………
Hey, Vaishnavi, Thanks for your feedback. 🙂

Hi Grace,
It would be best to speak to your paediatrician. Ideally IPV is given before the second dose of OPV. Maybe something can be worked out with your paediatrician based on the baby’s vaccination schedule.
Please guide me about phnemucocal vaccination . My baby is 21 months old
Hi Manish, please tell us if your baby has received any of the PCV doses.
My daughter is 3.4 years old after 6 month we miss all vaccination , now can we start the again . pl suggest .and what will about the miss vaccination .
Hi Vishal,
It would be best to take your daughter to a paediatrician who can assess all the vaccinations she has taken and the ones that can be given now. Accordingly a schedule will be prepared and make sure to follow it as the paediatrician recommends. Vaccinations are very important for children’s health. Though you don’t need to panic, still do follow the paediatrician’s advice carefully and don’t miss any vaccination suggested in the schedule.
Hello sir,
My daughter who is 10 months old now had vaccination of BCG, Hib, DTP, Hep-B, MMR and polio.
Is this all right or she should get some additional vaccines?
Please clear my doubt.
Good Afternoon Sofia!
Has your daughter received all these vaccinations since birth?
Can you please mention the doses of all the vaccinations she has received. Ideally you should have an immunization card that tracks all your daughter’s vaccinations, kindly refer to that card to see if your child is on track. And what are the next vaccinations in the series.
Dear Sir,
My babby 2 year old, thyphoid,vaccine given in 2 year, but Hepetatis A, And Verricella,Vaccine in Missd, can i given Hep A,Veriicella Vacciene .
Hi Ashutosh,
Hepatitis A and Varicella are optional vaccines, thus do not stress. These vaccines can be given, just consult with the baby’s paediatrician and decide accordingly. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.

Hi Ranjeet,
Thank for you asking us, but unfortunately we will not be able to supply you the required information about the vaccination needs of your adult 20 year old girl. I believe you will need to consult some doctors for this.
I have about this site too! Its actually very helpful
the PCV vaccine price last year was Rs. 1600/- as my daughter had PCV.
There r two types of pcv..one is pcv 10- cost is around ₹1600-2000/-, another one is pcv 13, cost is around ₹3800-4000/-. You can opt for any one. Pcv10 is against 10 most common pathological pneumococcal stain and pcv 13 is for 13 most common pathological strain.
My Daughter is 3mths old as ipv was not available in the hospital and with doctor i have not given is it ok. does it cause any problem to my daughter
My baby girl has completed 9 months on 10-6-2017. The pediatrician have asked to come for influenza vaccine on 10-07-2017. She (pediatrician) didn’t told us about which type of influenza vaccine? Another thing is vaccine costs taken by her varries drastically as compared to that taken by some of my colleagues pediatricians. I want to learn about the type of influenza vaccine that need to be given to my baby as per her age and its respective cost. Timely help and guidance by anyone would be highly appreciated.
Regards to every one 😊
