KEEP YOUR PEDIATRIC APPOINTMENTS

Some parents dont keep their child's pediatric appointments...its so important to attend the appointments as scheduled by the Doctor..they are for immunizations mostly..Some parents also feel getting multiple vaccines in one visit is unsafe. There are no clear benefits from spacing out vaccines,and the problem with doing so is that the infant goes unprotected for a longer period of time, leaving him/her more vulnerable to dangerous infections, many of which are more dangerous in young children.

Starting from a month after birth, a child starts loosing the antibodies he/she was born with. By 6 months, the child has very little extra protection against potentially harmful infections. When you spread the schedule out, you increase the risk that your child will be infected and become ill after being exposed to one of the most dangerous germs.
