“Abhi Toh Hua Tha Flu, Ab Shots Ki Kya Need?” Need Hai!

“Abhi Toh Hua Tha Flu, Ab Shots Ki Kya Need?” Need Hai!

Full-blown disease ke baad bhi many diseases give only short-term, or kuch saal tak last karne wali immunity. Diseases like typhoid, diphtheria, pertussis, Hib Pneumonia and Flu are some such diseases. Isiliye diseases hone ke baad bhi it is important to continue to vaccinate your child as per schedule.

Similarly, booster doses for vaccines after the first dose is also equally important. Studies ke hisab se booster doses increase the effectiveness of vaccines and reduce the risk of outbreaks.

Vaccines after full blown disease are important for many reasons -

  1. Full protection- Booster doses or vaccines after diseases, immunity ko rejuvenate karti hai.
  2. Responding to mutation- Viruses have a tendency to mutate, like covid for example. Bodies, due to past vaccination or disease, may be immune to one variant but not to others.
  3. Herd Immunity- Boosters and vaccinations after diseases not only help individuals but also help develop herd immunity and prevent outbreaks or epidemics.

Best possible protection ke liye it is always better to keep your child up to date with all vaccines and variants. Virals and diseases keep evolving, aur humara apne babies ki immunity ko unke saath evolve karwana bohut important hai. Keep consulting your doctors about your baby’s vaccine schedule and do not miss doses, unless the doctors recommend missing them for some specific reason. Let’s keep our babies safe.
