I am really confused, anyone has an accurate idea?

Question

idl to know, is vaccination for newborn or children in general just to protect them in their early stages or to the rest of their life? please very serious issue, all answers are welcomed.

Answer 1

As you already know, vaccinations are pretty much required for all children, especially if you intend to send them to public school. Vaccinations are meant to protect the child throughout life, although after a certain amount of time, you are supposed to get a booster shot to update the immunizations they already once received. They are definately going to protect them through their early stages, but in order to protect them throughout life, they will need that booster at certain ages.

Answer 2

I am a nurse that vaccinates children on a daily basis and the vaccines are for the rest of their lives. they may need boosters for some of them, but the routine shots start at birth with hepatitis b vaccine. It protects them in the early stages too, you don't want your baby being exposed to hepatitis without vaccines.

Most vaccines wear off when they are 5-18yrs thats why you need booster shots, vaccines make a different type of immunity than natural body defenses thats why they still have the risk of contracting the disease even if your vaccinated there is not guarantee. Good luck i sent you a link about the ingredients

Answer 4

A small dose of medicine is given to the child at a time so as not to overwhelm their little immune system. When they are finished with their shots--12 yo--they will be immune for life. Some shots series are finished sooner than that, but they are intended to last a lifetime, except the flu shot which changes every year.

Answer 5

Many of the vaccines that are commonely given are specifically b/c of the death rate in infants under a year. Many healthy babies died from these diseases, so while an older child may not get or die from rubella, an infant might. Vaccinations are so important, they have been shown worldwide for nearly 70 yrs to combat and control deadly treatable diseases.

The newer shots for the flu and chicken pox you might say baby doesn't need, till you meet someone whose little baby died from flu complications or caught chicken pox and died...

Answer 6

oohh.... look carefully and think hard before getting any vaccinations. I know someone with a permanent brain damged child from the chicken pox vaccine..... not jking either.

Added:
How can you give me a thumbs down sign for telling him what happened? R u saying I should keep that to myself because you don't wanna hear it? Well, he might wanna know so he can keep an eye out because it was actually an allergic reaction to the vaccine and I was telling him to be careful what he allows others to pump into his child's system THANK U VERY MUCH. >_<

Answer 7

the rest of their life. but talk to your doctor, because some of the vaccinations are unnecessary, and have risks. ex- polio shot was known to cause autism in some children.

Answer 8

i am not 100% sure but for so vaccinations i know they need booster shots and others are just for when there a child. (i'm not 100% sure but im pretty sure)

Answer 9

It's for now and later in life, with booster shots.
Ask your doctor about the risks.
My sister didn't get DPT shots, and had whooping cough as a result.

Answer 10

for the rest of their life!! it builds their immune up gradually, so wen they are older they wll be less likely to contract anything
