The immune system of infants and children are weak and they do not have the ability to fight with diseases. They are at a high risk of developing diseases as they cannot fight against diseases. Vaccination can prevent many serious diseases in children. So, vaccinating your child from the age of 2 months is essential.
Many parents delay their child vaccine due to various reasons which are risky for children. If at all you have missed your child vaccine, try to provide vaccination as soon as possible to protect your child from harmful diseases.
Coronavirus pandemic has proven how dangerous a disease could become, that too without a vaccine. It also reminds you to make sure that your child receives all the available vaccines.

Delaying Child Vaccination is Risky

Vaccination schedules for children are made by highly qualified doctors considering various aspects. They develop the schedule so that there would be enough gap between each dose to ensure they get absorbed by the body.

Child vaccines are given to improve the immune system and help them fight against illness and diseases. If your child’s vaccination is not up to date, your child remains unprotected from certain diseases and they are at high risk of developing diseases.

There are several dangerous diseases for children that can be prevented by the vaccine. For example, vaccine preventable diseases such as measles and whooping cough cases have been increasing. If travellers are carrying these diseases, the risk for your unvaccinated baby would rise. As social distancing requirements are not that much concerned now, children who are not vaccinated are more vulnerable to these diseases.

Even small delays can be dangerous to your child. So, vaccinating your child on scheduled time is important.

Following the scheduled vaccinations also keeps your child healthy and reduces the number of times you need to visit your child health care provider. This also reduces stress regarding your child health.
