  How does immunization help a child  

Q) My child is having all the vaccines as per doctor schedule. Are those vaccines help my child against diseases and how.

A) Vaccines work by preparing a child’s body to fight against illness. Each immunization contains either a dead or a weakened germ, or parts of it, that cause a particular disease.

The body practices in fighting against the disease by making antibodies that recognize specific parts of the germ. This means that if someone is exposed to the actual disease, the antibodies are already in place and the body knows how to fight it and prevent the person from getting sick.
