Why Are Vaccinations Important for Children?
Vaccinations work by stimulating the immune system to recognize and fight harmful diseases before your child is exposed to them. Immunization plays a vital role in:
✅ Preventing serious diseases such as measles, polio, whooping cough, and hepatitis B.
✅ Protecting the community through herd immunity, reducing outbreaks.
✅ Reducing hospitalizations and medical costs related to preventable diseases.
✅ Ensuring safe and healthy development for your child.
Many infectious diseases that were once common are now rare or eradicated thanks to childhood vaccinations. Give your child the best protection by keeping up with their vaccination schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Child Vaccinations
1. Are vaccines safe for my child?
Yes! Vaccines are thoroughly tested before approval and are proven to be safe and effective. Any minor side effects (like mild fever or swelling at the injection site) usually go away within a few days.
2. What should I do if my child misses a vaccine dose?
If your child misses a vaccine appointment, don’t worry! We will help you catch up on their immunization schedule. It’s never too late to vaccinate.
3. Can my child get vaccinated if they have a mild cold or fever?
Yes, mild colds or low-grade fevers are not a problem. However, if your child has a high fever or serious illness, we may reschedule the vaccination for a later date.

After vaccination, observe your child for any unusual reactions (such as high fever or excessive swelling). Mild side effects like slight fever, irritability, or redness at the injection site are normal and will go away soon.
