Childhood Immunisations

Understanding Childhood Immunisations

Childhood immunisations are crucial in protecting children from a variety of serious or potentially fatal diseases, such as measles, mumps, rubella, and polio. These diseases, while less common today due to widespread vaccination, can still occur, particularly in unvaccinated populations.

Prevention

The childhood immunisation schedule is designed to provide immunity before children are likely to be exposed to potentially serious diseases. The schedule includes multiple doses of vaccines at specific ages, starting from birth. For example, the 5-in-1 vaccine, protecting against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, and Hib disease, is given at 8, 12, and 16 weeks of age.

Who’s at Risk?

All children are at risk of these diseases, but those who are not vaccinated are at a significantly higher risk. Children with certain medical conditions or immune system deficiencies may also be at a higher risk.
