How Vaccinations can help your child.
When you are a new parent, childhood vaccines or immunizations may seem daunting. Around 14 separate diseases are protected by vaccination schedules recommended by agencies and associations, such as the CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Academy of Family Physicians.
In addition to shielding your child from lethal illnesses such as measles, tetanus, and diphtheria, vaccines often keep other children healthy by eliminating or substantially reducing harmful illnesses that have spread from child to child. A vaccine is a dead form or part of the germ that triggers the disease in question, or a weakened version. When children are exposed to a disease in the form of a vaccine, the immune system is theirs, which if and when they are exposed to the actual disease, it is the body's germ-fighting machine that can build up antibodies that prevent them from contracting the disease.
Vaccines have created some debate about protection over the years, but no conclusive proof of damage has been found. And while kids can respond to any vaccine, the important thing to remember is that the advantages of vaccines far outweigh the potential side effects.
