IMMUNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -There is no upper limit for the number of vaccines that can be administered during one visit. ACIP and AAP consistently recommend that all needed vaccines be administered during an office visit. Vaccination should not be deferred because multiple vaccines are needed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vaccination is the injection of a dead or weakened organism that forms immunity against that organism in the body. Immunization is the process by which an animal or a person stays protected from diseases.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vaccines can prevent infectious diseases that once killed or harmed many infants, children, and adults. Without vaccines, your child is at risk for getting seriously ill and suffering pain, disability, and even death from diseases like measles and whooping cough.

Detailed explanation-4: -Yes. Because the vaccine is given to your baby by mouth, it’s possible that the virus in the vaccine will pass through your baby’s gut and be picked up by whoever changes their nappy. The vaccine contains a weakened form of the rotavirus, so traces of it in a baby’s nappy will not harm healthy people.

Detailed explanation-5: -Side effects-The most common side effect of the shot is redness and soreness at the injection site. Some children develop a low-grade fever or a runny or congested nose after vaccination, particularly in children younger than 2 years.
