infants Vaccination

What is infants Vaccination?

Infant vaccination, or pediatric immunisation, is a critical aspect of child healthcare, and EVA Hospital in Ludhiana stands as a reliable facility for this essential service. At EVA Hospital, young patients receive vaccinations that protect them against various serious infectious diseases.

The vaccine schedule at EVA Hospital aligns with recommendations from health authorities, beginning from birth and extending through the early years of a child’s life. Administering these vaccines is not only crucial for the individual health of each child but also plays a vital role in the community by contributing to herd immunity.

Process of infant vaccination involves:

• Scheduled Vaccinations: Infants receive vaccines according to a specific schedule from birth to early childhood.
• Health Evaluation: Healthcare providers assess the infant’s health and medical history before administering vaccines.
• Informed Consent: Parents or guardians are briefed about the vaccine’s benefits and risks, and consent is obtained.
• Vaccine Administration: Vaccines are given, usually as injections, with some administered orally or nasally.
• Observation: A short period follows the vaccination to monitor for any immediate reactions.
• Record Keeping: Vaccinations are recorded in the infant’s medical records, and parents often receive a tracking card.
• Follow-up Shots: Some vaccines require multiple doses, necessitating follow-up appointments.
• Side Effect Monitoring: Parents are advised to watch for any side effects post-vaccination.
