IS IT OK TO MISS A CHILD'S VACCINATION SCHEDULE???

For many different reasons such as forgetting, worrying about children getting sick with fever, lack of information about vaccines... many parents miss their children's vaccination schedule.

In that situation, a common question that many parents ask is is it okay to miss a child's vaccination schedule and what to do when a child is not vaccinated on schedule???

- Vaccination is proven to be the best way to prevent infectious diseases. According to research, about 85-95% of vaccinated people will produce antibodies that help protect the body from disease.

- Estimates of the World Health Organization (WHO) show that thanks to vaccines, 2.5 million children do not die from infectious diseases each year. Vaccinated children have good health, normal physical and mental development, minimizing the risk of sequelae and deformities caused by infectious diseases.

- Also according to WHO, the vaccination schedule is calculated and established based on the results of countless basic research, animal studies and clinical trials over many years to find out at what age children have the optimal immune response and the best level of protection, as well as at what age children face a high risk of complications or death when infected with one of the vaccineable diseases.

Thus, only when children are vaccinated on the recommended schedule will the vaccine's ability to protect against infectious diseases be most effective.

In principle, vaccination on schedule is the most optimal for disease prevention because the vaccine will maximize the protective effect. In case a child misses a vaccination schedule or is not fully vaccinated, the ability to prevent disease will be low and the child is at risk of contracting infectious diseases, especially during peak epidemic seasons.

To avoid missing your child's vaccination schedule: parents need to stick to the vaccination schedule. In case the child forgets or the child is sick/fever and cannot be vaccinated according to schedule, parents need to contact vaccination facilities for advice on how to fix it.
