Vaccinations for newborns, the pros and cons, are what we will discuss in this article. The topic is complex, not so much because many of us have inaccessible medical terms, but because the lives of our babies are at stake. In terminology, we’ll somehow figure it out, but behind a pile of medical information, political propaganda, and, in some places, sincere lies, how to discern the truth? The goal is beautiful - do no harm!
Such an active opposition to vaccination in our country appeared only in the 90s, with the advent of publicity and the opening of the "curtain". Information has been made available to our residents about side effects and about vaccinations that are not being given in many countries to newborns. The pros and cons of many scholars began to speak out. Serious disputes began to boil, and ordinary people, parents, on whose shoulders lay the responsibility for vaccination, should understand this.
Surprisingly, children are vaccinated without fail, according to state plans, but the responsibility for side effects lies solely with those who do not understand this. We must sign a consent sheet before each injection. Perhaps this is the state of affairs that misleads parents. Aesculapius is not responsible for what they do ???
Based on the available information, only in Russian maternity hospitals vaccinations are given to newborns. The pros and cons are not discussed in principle. It is believed that this procedure is exclusively necessary.
The thing is that most of the country, no matter how regrettable to state this , lives beyond the bounds. The conditions in which the infant will be carried away are not known to doctors. Well, if it will be a comfortable apartment with all amenities, and if not? The chance of having a tuberculosis relative is indecent. It is for these children that BCG injection is designed. Those who will live in normal conditions with adequate parents are simply not thought of. And it turns out that the benefit for some is playing a trick on others.
As a result, some parents began to refuse vaccination. In principle, the decision is competent, only on condition that in the future, when the child is a little stronger, the first vaccinations for newborns will be given. How and when to do it is up to the parents and the pediatrician to decide.
There are facts that all vaccinations for newborns (the pros and cons of which we are discussing) given not before the age of one year, but only after three years of life, can reduce the infant mortality rate by several times. For example, after this decision, Japan moved to the penultimate place (in the number of child deaths) from seventeenth. Previously, by the way, all Japanese babies had BCG in the hospital.
Vaccinations for newborns (expert reviews confirm this) should be done exclusively on an individual vaccination card. A single program for all cannot operate. It is necessary not to follow the lead of manufacturers and antivirals, but to make amendments to the development of medicine and science in general. Although vaccine side effects exist, their role is important and proven. For example, only a century ago, children died out of polio villages. With the start of vaccination, mortality, as well as injuries, decreased significantly. Many in our time do not know what polio is!
