Why do infants & children receive vaccinations in a certain order during certain periods as they grow up? Keep in mind the type of vaccination, the risk associated with each vaccination, & the risk associated with NOT being vaccinated.

Answer 1

Vaccines are artificial acquired immunity. Vaccines are given to save us from various diseases and infection. Some vaccines are given immediately after birth like hepatitis and some may be given after sometime like after 5-6 months examplea like measels.

Vaccines like polio are given 3 times to a person. Because their are 3 strains of polio so A person is vaccinated 3 times against polio. Vaccinatiin like hepatitus and polio are given immediately after birth. While like diphtheria, measels are given after some months It is because after birth therw are some maternal antibodies still present in the child and this maternal antibodies would act against this vaccine and so the vaccines would rendered inactive So it is given after months only when the maternal antibodies are cleared from the blood stream. Against some diseases repeated booster doses of vaccinations are required to bring abiut proper immunity. But some vaccines may work on single dosage tgat gwt incorporated unto genome of host and replicate as host genome replicates.
