Question

Why are infants and children vaccinated?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Vaccines for Infants, Children, and Teens

Vaccines help protect infants, children, and teens from serious diseases. Getting childhood vaccines means your child can develop immunity (protection) against diseases before they come into contact with them.

And did you know that getting your child vaccinated also protects others? Because of community immunity, vaccines help keep your child’s younger siblings, older family members, and friends from getting sick, too

Answer 2

Explanation:

Infants and young children are at greater risk from vaccine-preventable diseases because their immune systems are less mature and less able to fight off infection. If an infant or young child were to get a vaccine-preventable disease, it could be very serious and life-threatening.

Vaccinating a child on time gives them the best protection as early as possible.
