Parents not following the routine in “Routine Vaccinations” endanger their children

A common misconception most parents have is that recommended vaccines and their doses in the routine immunization schedule might overwhelm their babies immune system.

In simpler terms, they fear the vaccines are too much and choose to spread them out as opposed to following the immunization schedule.

This is a massive problem for the children who are left unprotected. The number of pathogens and disease causing bacteria that children are exposed to as they function normally e.g breathe, eat, move around, touch things etc. Greatly overpower the antigens they are exposed to when vaccinated.

In simpler terms, not properly vaccinating children is a sure way of overwhelming their immune system with illnesses.

This explains why when children contract vaccine-preventable diseases, the side effects are brutal and sometimes fatal. It’s also why we inform parents that if they want to increase the chances of their children growing healthy, they must vaccinate them in accordance with the recommended vaccine schedule.
