In addition, once the first three months parents have to go with the baby to a neurologist, an optometrist and podiatrist, but when the time comes vaccinations – blood tests and urine tests. "Big" clinical examination the child to be pass in a year: in addition to the familiar toddler specialists, he met with the dentist, otolaryngology, and a surgeon. I'm not afraid of shots! To protect your baby from serious diseases, the first inoculation he had already made in hospital. Whatever belonged to this procedure, parents, vaccination remains the only reliable way to protect against many infections. The more that medicine is not static, and modern drugs have become much safer, more effective and more convenient than ever before (for example, have removed the components, which can cause complications).

There are new vaccines against diseases that have to deal with that before was not possible, such as meningitis. And despite the fact that the vaccination schedule in these days has become much longer, the baby will not have more often led to the clinic. Now, doctors have learned to combine in one product, several vaccines. Many parents fear that immunizations may weaken the body and cause adverse reactions in a child. In fact modern drugs are well tolerated in children and rarely lead to some problems.

If side effects do occur, then often appear so. Some medications (eg, pertussis) can increase the temperature.

The list includes vaccination against tuberculosis, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, hepatitis B, rubella. Help that child was a program of protection against these diseases, and later required for admission to kindergarten. And some additional vaccines (eg against influenza and hepatitis A), doctors recommend to do, but the state does not pay for them. In this case to take care of their babies should be vaccinated by their own parents.
