Yes. Even healthy babies need vaccines because their immune systems are still developing. Vaccines protect against serious diseases that can strike without warning—even in babies who seem perfectly fine.
Delaying or skipping vaccines leaves your baby unprotected during their most vulnerable months. It also puts other children at risk, especially those who are too young or medically unable to get vaccinated.
Mild side effects like a low fever or soreness at the injection site are common and temporary. Serious reactions are extremely rare. The risks of vaccine-preventable diseases are far greater than the risks of the vaccines themselves.
No. Babies are exposed to more germs daily from their environment than from any vaccine. Vaccines are carefully designed to work with your baby’s immune system without overwhelming it.
Because the first year of life is when babies are most at risk. Early vaccination offers protection during this critical window when some diseases can be especially dangerous or even fatal.
No. Extensive research involving millions of children has found no link between vaccines and autism. This myth has been thoroughly debunked by the global medical community.
Yes. In most cases, premature babies need the same vaccines at the same age as full-term babies. In fact, they may be at higher risk for complications from vaccine-preventable diseases.
Vaccines go through years of testing before approval, followed by constant monitoring. They’re reviewed by scientists, doctors, and health experts around the world to ensure they’re safe for all children.
A mild illness, like a cold or low-grade fever, usually isn’t a reason to delay vaccination. Your child can still get vaccinated safely, and delaying might leave them unprotected longer. Always check with your healthcare provider, but in most cases, it’s safe and recommended to stick to the schedule.
