Vaccination for preventable diseases
Immunization is done through various techniques, most commonly Vaccination. Vaccines against Microorganism’s that cause diseases can prepare the body’s immune system, thus helping to fight or prevent an infection.
Immunizations are often widely stated as less risky and an easier way to become immune to a particular disease than risking a milder form of the disease itself. They are important for both adults and children in that they can protect us from the many diseases out there. Immunization not only protects children against deadly diseases but also helps in developing children’s immune systems. Through the use of immunizations, some infections and diseases have almost completely been eradicated throughout the World. One example is polio. At Erlings Children Hospital we offer all vaccinations approved by the National Programme on Immunization and Paediatric Association of Nigeria.
