Vaccinations for children: what must be done?

1. Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B virus is one of the causes of liver cancer. It enters the body through the blood (with transfusion, with a cut on a manicure, during sex, and so on). Vaccination is divided into three stages and requires 4 to 6 months, but immunity will resist hepatitis B without failures for 10-12 years.

2. Hepatitis A

Hepatitis A causes jaundice, a disease that is extremely dangerous for the liver. Within six months, two doses are injected into the body, which will provide you with immunity for 15-20 years.

3. Tetanus

Tetanus is very dangerous – as soon as spores of the bacillus enter an open wound, one of the most powerful toxins in the world is taken over – it causes paralysis of the heart and spasm of the respiratory muscles. Vaccinations work for 10 years, after the expiration of the term, the vaccination must be repeated.

4. Meningococcal infection

Meningococcus causes meningitis, inflammation of the lungs, joints, and the iris of the eye. The vaccine is given once and lasts for 5 years. Vaccination is mandatory when traveling to Saudi Arabia.

5. Pneumococcal infection

Pneumococcal infection causes pneumonia, sinusitis, otitis media, pharyngitis, bronchitis, and arthritis. The difficulty is that over the years it becomes more and more resistant to antibiotics, so vaccination seems to be a necessary measure for chronic diseases. It is valid for five years and is entered once.
