Routine Vaccination for Infants
Babies and infants are vulnerable to disease because of their immaturity of resistance (immunity). Routine Vaccination is highly needed to prevent such infectious diseases that the government prescribe that people "must endeavor to undergo a Routine Vaccination" after reaching a certain age. You can receive vaccination free of charge within the specified period. No matter how busy you may be, you must not forget this Routine Vaccination to protect the health of your baby.
For each vaccine, inoculation interval is predetermined. And babies have to receive vaccination more than 10 times before reaching 1 year old. You'd better talk about the vaccination schedule on the occasion of monthly health checkup.
