Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to protect newborns from life-threatening infections and ensure a healthy start in life. The first year is crucial for building immunity, and timely vaccinations safeguard babies from serious diseases like tuberculosis, hepatitis, polio, and pneumonia.
Key Vaccines for Newborns:
✔ BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin) – Given at birth to protect against tuberculosis (TB).
✔ Hepatitis B Vaccine – Prevents liver infections caused by the Hepatitis B virus.
✔ Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) – Guards against polio, a viral disease that can cause paralysis.
✔ DPT (Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus) Vaccine – Provides immunity against three serious bacterial infections.
✔ Rotavirus Vaccine – Prevents severe diarrhea in infants.
✔ PCV (Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine) – Protects against pneumonia, meningitis, and ear infections.
✔ MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) Vaccine – Administered at 9-12 months to protect against these contagious viral diseases.
Why Timely Vaccination Matters:
✔ Prevents serious infections & complications
✔ Boosts immunity & long-term health
✔ Reduces the risk of outbreaks & protects the community
