6. FAQs
Your child needs vaccination as it provides a thorough defence (or immunity) against a
potentially deadly disease.
Vaccination has proven to be the most eective method to stop the spread of infectious
diseases like smallpox, polio etc.
Children are injected with certain vaccines as soon as their immune systems have developed
suciently.
The rate of the development of the immune system leads to the formation of a vaccination or
immunization chart.
Additional booster shots are also required to achieve full immunity to a particular disease.
Yes, you are going to inject your child with a potentially deadly virus!!
Your babys immune system is fully capable of recognizing and dealing with these threats.
And once your babys immune system has dealt with the virus, it keeps a record of it in the
immune system.
Your child is now capable of identifying & dealing with similar threats in the future.
The vaccines are made as safe & eective as possible, but every piece of medication
manufactured has unwanted side-eects.
The side-eects can range from mild fever to pain at the injection site. 0
If the symptoms persist for more than a few days, please consult your paediatrician for
further advice.
If you are more comfortable with electronic information, you can always download the
IAPs ocial Immunization App from the Android store.
The application contains the vaccination chart, FAQs, list of diseases and vaccines in a
very easy-to-read manner.
It even has a checklist which can be modied according to your babys details.
Timely reminders can be received whenever it is time for vaccination.
Vaccination at birth ranges from as early as possible to not more than a week after birth.
Suppose your child has to take more that 1 vaccine on the same day, but due to some reason, the rst
one is given and there is a delay in the next, make sure the vaccines are injected within 24 hours of each
other.
The recommended age in terms of weeks/months/years refers to the completed age of your baby in
equivalent terms.
Combination vaccines (vaccines for multiple diseases rolled into a single injection) are generally
preferred over separate injections.

The change of needles between drawing vaccine into the syringe and injecting into your child is not 0
necessary.
Multiple vaccines of dierent types SHOULD NOT BE MIXED in the same syringe
without specic licenses and labels.
Your baby should be observed very closely for 15-20 minutes after receiving an immunization. Be on
the lookout for any allergic reactions.
Whenever necessary, 2 vaccines can be injected into the same limb in a single visit.
The distance separating 2 injection spots on the body should be at least 1 inch so
as to make sure that local reactions do not overlap.
A previous immunization with a less than standard dose or one which has been administered in a non-
standard manner should not be counted and your baby should be re-immunized appropriately.
That pretty much sums up the general vaccinations that every child receives.
Even children who have pets at home or those who have a high risk of being bitten by dogs
are considered as such.
IAP recommends at least 7 vaccines for children belonging to the high-risk category:
Inuenza Vaccine
Meningococcal Vaccine
Cholera Vaccine 0
Rabies Vaccine
For more information regarding the circumstances where these high-risk vaccines come into
play, it is better to approach your paediatrician. For more details, you can also read about
them on the IAPs recommendations for 2014.
