📌 Vaccines in Children: Proactive Immunization by Age Range

In a public health context, vaccines are considered the most effective and cost-effective disease prevention measures (Cost-effective Preventive Strategy) to reduce morbidity and mortality among children.

The basic vaccines that children should receive by age range include

👶 newborn

• BCG - Reduce severe tuberculosis risk, especially TB meningitis

• Hepatitis B - Prevent mother-to-child infection and reduce future occurrence of cirrhosis / liver cancer

🍼 2-6 months old

• DTP - Anti-diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus

• IPV / OPV - Prevention of polio and permanent paralysis

• Hib - Reduce the occurrence of meningitis from Haemophilus influenzae type b

• Pneumococcal (IPD) - reduce the occurrence of invasive pneumococcal diseases such as bacteremia, meningitis, severe pneumonia

• Rotavirus - Reduces the severity of acute gastroenteritis in young children

👦 9-12 months or more

• MMR - Reduce measles complications such as pneumonia, cerebral inflammation

• JE - Prevent Japanese encephalitis, which has a high disability rate.

🧒 Annual

• Influenza vaccine - reducing violence and complications among vulnerable groups, especially young children and children with chronic diseases

The vaccine may not prevent 100% infection.

But there is strong evidence that it can reduce severity, reduce hospital sleep and reduce mortality epidemiologically significantly.

In an age when information spreads rapidly,

Vaccine decisions should reference medical practices and advice from health personnel.

"Immunization from childhood is an investment in the long-term health of society."
