All parents wants our kids grow healthy. Nutritious foods, clean environment, proper hygiene is not enough. Another way to assure that they grow and stay fit is thru vaccination. This will help their immune system strong. However, the question is, among the many vaccines available now, which are the most important and really needed by kids?
As subscribed to Men’s Health Dad Newsletter, I came across this information that will help parents decide whether they will have their kids vaccinated. This is according to Dr. Robert Sears. He ranked the different vaccines with regards to the infection and severity of disease.
Important | Fairly Important | Not Critical |
DTaP – diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis Rotavirus PCV – Pneumococcal disease Hib – Haemophilus influenza type b | Hepatitis B MMR – Measles, mumps and rubella Meningococcal Disease (MCV4) IPV/OPV – Polio HPV – Human papillomavirus (for girls) | Flu – Influenza Varicella – Chicken pox Hepatitis A |
Based on the list, my son had already got almost all of the shots except for the PCV which is scheduled next month.
