The Importance Of Immunization Cannot Be Stressed Well Enough

We all want to stay fit for the lifetime. As Ralph Waldo Emerson has proudly said:

“The first wealth is health.”

If you go through the book named “Children of Promise: The Ultimate Guide to Raising Healthy Kids,” written by Dr. Rand Olson, you will come across a sentence where it is mentioned that health is the most sacred and best gift you can give to your child.

One of the most significant and mandatory methods to make our child free of horrible diseases is Immunization or Vaccine. It triggers the immune response of the body letting it either produce antibodies against specific diseases or find other ways to enhance immunity. Therefore, in future, if the little soul encounters the actual illness, he/she will be able to fight the virus or bacteria effectively.

Why do children need immunization?

Our goal is to prevent diseases. Taking precaution is cost-effective while treating is expensive.

Immunizations are usually given when the human beings are little children. It provides protection from diseases like polio, smallpox, mumps, measles and whooping cough that once ruled the world as epidemics. Certain vaccines are provided for a single time, while some require boosters for continued protection.

Which immunizations can you give to your kids?

Many daycares and schools are asking for immunization reports as proofs to see whether kids are safe from dangerous diseases or not. They will make sure that your little one is protected from deadly health issues.

Every mom and dad wants to make their child learn swimming that is considered as perfect exercise. Not only for the intention of training, but also for the safety purpose. If any day, the child falls in water accidentally, he/she can swim back on the land and save his/her life. He/she can save other drowning people too. Many times, doctors suggest swimming therapy for children with ADHD issues.

A random question often itches your brains: - Do my angel needs vaccinations before joining swimming session?

As per NHS guidelines, you can admit your kid to a swimming club at any point in time, regardless of whether he/she received the vaccines. Usually, the pools are well maintained with chlorine and water is changed and cleaned regularly. The diseases that need vaccinations are not supposed to stay active in chlorinated water. Therefore, the right time can be any time for the little swimmers.

It has been recorded that if the swimming lesson clashes with the vaccination day, even at that time, the water babies swam with perfectly okay bodies after being injected with doses in the mornings. In fact, the medical officers opined that it could be a bonus as the warm water of the pool can soothe the stiff legs and arms, and the grizzly nerves of the little figures.

You must vaccinate your children before traveling to any place that has beaches or rivers. Hepatitis A injection is a must as a place like Malawi has contaminated water.

Moreover, some sites with waterways give life to malaria-infested mosquitoes. If you visit those watery areas with your child, you must take medicines for the whole family. Typhoid, cholera etc. are common maladies that attack everybody. Children have low immunity than the adults. Therefore, if your child takes a dip in the pool or river, or gets bitten by germ bearing mosquitoes taking birth in the water, vaccination is the way to defend them. Moreover, while enjoying swimming in the rivers or lakes, the kids can swallow the dirty contaminated water and be prone to specific life taking diseases. Thus, immunization is a priority.
