Isnt It Important to Get Vaccinated as Autumn Arrives?

Many mothers have already thought about how to prevent their children from epidemic diseases as autumn approaches. Among them, many mothers choose to vaccinate their children. I believe vaccines are very helpful for babies to prevent epidemic diseases, but do you know what vaccines are available? Let me share some knowledge with you.

1. Pneumococcal Vaccine

Pneumococcus, also known as Streptococcus pneumoniae, is a bacterium that mainly causes lesions in the lungs of our bodies. Therefore, we should pay attention to preventing the production of pneumococcus, especially for children aged from birth to two years old, who are particularly susceptible to pneumonia. The pneumococcal vaccine is a good measure to prevent pneumonia. If Streptococcus pneumoniae develops in our bodies, it is likely to lead to the following diseases: meningitis, otitis media, pneumonia... and in severe cases, even death.

2. Varicella Vaccine

The varicella vaccine is a very common vaccine in childhood vaccination programs. Varicella is mainly transmitted through the air and saliva, and can also be transmitted directly to the skin through the ruptured blisters on the body using personal items. Generally speaking, varicella is highly contagious, and more than 90% of children will contract it if exposed. If your child has had varicella before, there is no need to worry. Because people usually only get varicella once in their lifetime, and those who have had it once will not get it again even if they come into contact with patients with varicella. If your child has not had varicella, we recommend that they receive the varicella vaccine. The recent trend is that children with varicella are increasingly at risk of life-threatening conditions. The varicella vaccine is a long-term protective vaccine, so it provides a good defensive effect after vaccination.

3. Influenza Vaccine

Influenza can be said to be one of the most common diseases in autumn, especially for babies aged six months to three years after birth, who are prone to influenza. Generally speaking, babies in this age group are about three times more likely to contract influenza than adults, with an infection rate of over 50%. When there is a highly mutable influenza virus in the baby's body, it will cause an acute respiratory infection.

4. Meningococcal Vaccine

Epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis, also known as meningococcal meningitis, is an acute respiratory infectious disease with a high mortality rate, mainly caused by Neisseria meningitidis. It mainly occurs before age 15, manifested as high fever, severe headache, unexplained small blood spots on the skin, and in severe cases, even shock and coma. Therefore, it is necessary for parents to vaccinate their children against meningococcal meningitis.

Well, the above are some common types of vaccines. Parents should take their children to get vaccinated when they have time, which is very important for preventing diseases in babies.
