Why is immunization important for the baby I?
Immunization is a virus that has been attenuated to enter into the body. Its function, to stimulate the body to form the immune system. So, if there is an incoming germs, the body will automatically fight it. So, this is very important to dissuade him from disease.
When should I take my baby to be immunized?
Typically, children up to age 5 years should be immunized 13 times with a separate schedule. Usually the doctor will give Mother immunization schedule, so his gift can be monitored properly. Mother would be easy to see any immunizations already and has not been given.
Immunization what will get my baby and when?
Now, the immunization can be alleviated by a combination vaccine.
Vaccine or vaccine combination combo is a combination of several types of viruses or bacteria into a single product antigens that prevent different diseases. Practically, this vaccine is simply done in a single injection only.
In Indonesia, these vaccines must obtain permission from the Directorate General of Drug and Food, Ministry of Health.
The oldest existing combination vaccines are DPT (diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus). From the incorporation of DPT vaccine is proven safe, then arises the idea of combining some other vaccines.


So the incorporation of DPT vaccine Hepatitis B, DPT, Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type-B), and so forth.


Now, there are also various other types of combination vaccines. For example, the MMR (Measles Mumps Rubella), varicella, DPT, Hepatitis B Hib IPV (polio), and many more.
Is my baby will suffer any side effects?
Allergy to vaccines are extremely rare. So Immunization done enough security. If it was a little baby has a fever or swelling at the injection site, I can give paracetamol suitable for infants.
Sometimes babies have very mild symptoms of these immunizations. But your son will not suffer side effects or serious complications. Risk of the disease will be much greater if your baby is not protected.
If a mother worried about your baby has a bad reaction to the vaccine, talk to your midwife or your doctor
