Protection of the baby starts right after their birth from a series of bacteria and viruses. To tackle this issue your baby needs vaccination. The childhood vaccine schedule, or immunization schedule, is a list of vaccines that your child should have after birth to the age of 12. Healthcare professionals advised that each child should get these vaccines at a specific age to protect themselves from several life-threatening diseases or complications that may affect their proper development.
The immunization process is very important for the proper development and growth of the child. Experts develop and update the schedule of vaccination according to recent studies. Timing of the given vaccine is determined after considering all the odds and how it can protect the child from life-threatening diseases and viruses.
A few things that are taken into consideration before vaccination -
• A child’s age is considered to determine if its immune system will respond accordingly to the specific vaccine.
• The time when a child is at higher risk of getting the disease.
Infants are at greater risk of catching a disease; that’s why the infant vaccination schedule starts right after the birth. So, following the vaccination schedule is important for the protection and safety of your child.

To decrease the number of shots, pediatricians can use a single appointment to give them a combination of various vaccines. For example, they can give Vaxelis vaccine combined with DTaP, HepB, Hib, and IPV in a single shot.
