Why is newborn vaccination important?
Newborn vaccinations prevent fatal infections in babies because they do not have a well-developed capacity to fight diseases. To protect the child from infectious diseases, the pediatrician prescribes a list of vaccines for the baby and gives the mother a schedule. The vaccine list in India is according to the Indian association of pediatrics and the national immunization schedule. The diseases against which the vaccines give protection are vaccine-preventable. They are different in different countries depending on what diseases are present.

FAQs
Are any vaccines given at birth?
Hepatitis B, BCG and IPV can be given together at birth. These vaccines can also be given later in infancy if missed, except for the hepatitis shot.
What if my child misses a vaccine?
If a child’s vaccination is not complete against infection, they are more vulnerable to that infection. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that even if your child misses a shot, they can get vaccinated again.
Is one dose of a vaccine enough?
In some vaccines like BCG, one shot is enough, and most other vaccines require multiple doses to get adequate immunity.
