IMMUNIZATIONS
When babies are born, they are protected by their mother’s antibodies temporarily, against some illnesses. After that, babies need protection against deadly diseases .
Vaccines are helpful to build the immunity against these viral or bacterial illnesses.
We firmly believe in the effectiveness of vaccines to prevent serious illness and to save lives.
We also firmly believe that all children and young adults should receive all of the recommended vaccines according to the schedules of CDC and AAP.
Your child will receive the first dose of Hepatitis B Vaccine in the hospital soon after birth.
We start the vaccine schedule for the newborn at the age of 2mon.
