one year old immunization



by one year old, it is said, a child should complete the following:



Hepatitis B2-3 doses
Inactivated Polio2-3 doses
DTaP3-4 doses
Rotavirus3 doses
Pneumococcal4 doses
Haemophilus Influnzae4 doses
Measles-Mumps_Rubella1 dose
Chickenpox (Varicella)1 dose

from the readings, it is said the recommended immunization for a one year old is the MMR - Measles, Mumps, and Rubella. The MMR vaccine is now given in two dosages. The first should be given at 12-15 months of age. The second vaccination should be given at 4-6 years. Does it do any harms? Absolutely NO. But, at very severe circumstances, the MMR may somehow cause mild fever and rashes, which are by far not serious. In Adam's case, alhamdulillah he has not develop any feverish despite mild running nose. And seems to get better day by day. :)


For parents, u guys might want to do some readings on the vaccinations to ensure we as a parents understand clearly the given prescriptions. this can help :)



and there's my little boy for his jab
