Immunization and vaccination are important for children because they can prevent them from getting sick and suffering from complications or disabilities caused by diseases such as measles, polio, tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough, hepatitis B, and rotavirus. By vaccinating children, we can also protect the next generation from diseases that have been eliminated or reduced by immunization, such as smallpox and rubella.
Tips To Make Your Vaccination Journey Better:
Before the visit: Read about the vaccines your child is getting and write down any questions you may have. Bring your child's personal immunization record to the appointment. Pack your child's favorite toy, book, or blanket to comfort him or her during vaccinations. Be honest with your child and explain that shots can pinch or sting but won't hurt for long.
During the visit: Ask your child's doctor or healthcare professional any questions you have about vaccination. Distract and comfort your child by cuddling, singing, or talking softly. Smile and make eye contact with your child and let them know everything is okay. Hold your child firmly on your lap whenever possible.
After the visit: Your attending doctor or staff will inform you of post-immunisation & vaccination care for your child. Follow the instructions, and feel free to connect with us if you have any questions.
