Many parents choose to vaccinate their children from birth, following the advice of doctors. Some vaccines provide lifelong immunity, while others need to be repeated several times or after a number of years to ensure that the child is still protected against infections and some life-threatening complications.

Vaccinating children is the best way to protect them from preventable diseases.
