Children six years old and younger have a greater risk than older kids and adults of developing complications. When treatment isn’t timely, an otherwise “simple” disease may result in chronic health problems and even death. The good news is, many of the illnesses can be prevented with a well-balanced diet, regular exercise, good hygiene, and vaccination.
When your baby was born, he or she received antibodies from you, the mother, and it protected him from some diseases. But that immunity is limited, it doesn’t cover some vaccine-preventable diseases and it lasts only for a month to a year. That’s why we should have all our kids vaccinated according to schedule.
Vaccines work like a body armor, shielding the sensitive immune system of young children against infectious diseases, such as measles and hepatitis B. vaccinated individuals are also protecting those they come in contact with who are unvaccinated.
