It is very necessary to vaccinate your baby. As the baby grows, he needs to receive different types of vaccinations to effectively prevent him from being infected by viruses.

1. What happens if you don’t get vaccinated?

Not getting vaccinated will increase the child's chance of being infected with the virus and is not conducive to the child's growth. The purpose of vaccination is to prevent infectious diseases. The pathogenic viruses and bacteria that cause infectious diseases are made into vaccines. Through vaccination, the body develops special resistance to certain infectious diseases. Therefore, vaccination is good for children.

2. What are the benefits of vaccination?

Vaccination has traditionally been one of the important measures for comprehensive prevention of infectious diseases. Vaccination enables the vaccinated to gain immunity to the infectious diseases targeted by the vaccine. It is the specific implementation of infectious disease immunization prevention, an effective means to control and even eliminate vaccine-preventable infectious diseases, and an administrative act to implement the "prevention first" health work policy. Therefore, carrying out vaccination work is an important strategy to implement the immunization plan, improve health and epidemic prevention, protect people's health, and ensure my country's socialist economic construction.

From the immunological point of view, vaccination preparations can be divided into two categories according to their immunological properties: active immunization preparations and passive preparations. The former are vaccine-type products belonging to antigens, while the latter are immune serum-type products belonging to antibodies. Serum products include antibacterial, antiviral sera, antibacterial toxin and anti-animal toxin antibodies. Although they are sometimes used for prevention, they are mainly used for clinical treatment.

From the therapeutic mechanism of serum products, killing pathogens or neutralizing toxins in the body is immunotherapy, but it still has preventive implications. From an epidemiological point of view, comprehensive measures are usually taken to deal with infectious diseases, such as managing the source of infection, cutting off the transmission route and improving the immunity level of the population, and vaccination is an effective means of the latter measure.
