What are the free pediatric vaccinations?

With the rapid development of the economy, the increase in national financial resources and the concern for the future children of the motherland, the country has spent huge financial and material resources on children. Take pediatric vaccination for example. This is a very useful preventive measure for children's health, so the country has made great efforts to provide free vaccinations for children. This will not only allow children to grow up happily and healthily, but also reduce the burden on the family. So which vaccinations are free?

This type of vaccine is a routine immunization according to age, and all babies must receive it. When entering kindergarten or school, the vaccination status needs to be checked, and babies who have not completed the vaccination must receive a booster shot. The following are common vaccines for childhood immunization

1. Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)

Tuberculosis (TB) is a vaccination used to prevent tuberculosis in children. Vaccination can give children special resistance to tuberculosis.

2. Hepatitis B vaccine (HepB)

Hepatitis B vaccine is a special medicine used to prevent hepatitis B. After vaccination, the immune system can be stimulated to produce protective antibodies. These antibodies exist in human body fluids. Once the hepatitis B virus appears, the antibodies will immediately take effect to eliminate it, prevent infection, and will not harm the liver. This will enable the human body to have immunity to prevent hepatitis B, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing hepatitis B infection. Vaccination against hepatitis B is the most effective way to prevent hepatitis B virus infection.

3. Measles vaccine:

Measles vaccine is a live attenuated vaccine with mild reactions and good immune durability. Regular vaccination after birth can prevent measles.

Polio sugar pills are an oral vaccine preparation, white granular sugar pills, and are safe for vaccination. Taking sugar pills as planned after birth can effectively prevent polio.

5. DPT preparations:

The above six are free pediatric vaccines. Pediatric vaccination is a good thing that benefits the country and the people because it shows the country's concern for the future generation. From the time a child is born to school age, he is still in the development stage and his physical constitution is much weaker than that of other people, so it takes more effort to protect these flowers. Therefore, when a child needs vaccination, he must go to the hospital in time.
