Another million face debility for a lifetime. It is the responsibility of parents to vaccinate the child timely to prevent potentially life threatening infectious diseases that can be easily prevented by a simple shot. Here are some important dos and don&#8217;ts that you must bear in mind before vaccinating your child.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1 . Do Not Vaccinate Your Child When He\/She Is Unwell<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-If your child is suffering from fever, a runny nose, cough, then delay the vaccination by a few days.<\/p>\n<p>-Because their immune system is already battling an infection, it might not be able to react optimally to a vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>-This does not mean you should not give the vaccine at all; it&#8217;s just better to delay the vaccination date till your child is hale and hearty again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2 .<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Never Give Paracetamol Prior To Vaccination<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-In an attempt to reduce the chance of fever post vaccination, many parents self medicate and hive paracetamol before vaccination.<\/p>\n<p>-Giving paracetamol when not indicated can be harmful to the child.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3 .<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Beware Of An Adverse Reaction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-Most of the vaccines are safe and have been tested vigorously for efficacy and safety. However, sometimes there may be an adverse reaction to a particular vaccine<\/p>\n<p>-Do not give your child a vaccine again in case he\/she have shown a previous adverse reaction to that vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>-Inform your pediatrician about this prior to accepting or rejecting the vaccination.<\/p>\n<p>-If your child shows any kind of adverse reaction to any vaccination, immediately report this to your child\u2019s pediatrician.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4 . Let Your Doctor Know About Any Underlying Medical Condition<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; If your child has any medical conditions that make his immunity altered such as eczema, asthma, and allergies, inform your pediatrician prior to vaccination.<\/p>\n<p>-Children whose immune systems have been compromised may not be able to fight a minor infection that today\u2019s live or weakened vaccines may cause.<\/p>\n<p>-Usually, vaccines are tested on very large scales and made as foolproof as possible and do not have side effects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5 . Set Reminders<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-The Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) offers the world\u2019s largest free immunization service.<\/p>\n<p>-Parents need to simply add basic details of the child including the birth date and timely reminders are sent every time a vaccination is due.<\/p>\n<p>-Opt for the\u00a0 service simply by texting a message by SMS to 566778 from any cellphone in India.<\/p>\n<p>-The message to be sent is:<strong>Immunize [Space] [Baby&#8217;s first name] [Space] [Baby&#8217;s date of birth].\u00a0<\/strong>Example : Immunize Rekha 04-11-2013<\/p>\n<p>-The phone will instantly receive a confirmation text.<\/p>\n<p>-The phone number will receive vaccination reminders up to following 12 years based on the IAP immunization schedule for children.<\/p>\n<p>Remain up to date with your child\u2019s immunization schedule because it is better to give a tiny prick for better health for a lifetime than bear consequences of hazardous diseases.
