My Baby and Me

92 What will happen if I give one dose and do not give the subsequent doses of the vaccine?Will my baby be protected against those diseases? Generally, when two or more doses of a particular vaccine are recommended, it is done after extensive scientific trials and studies. The exact number of doses that can provide the maximum protection is calculated and recommended in the immunization timetable. If only one dose of the vaccine is given, your baby will be partially protected against the disease. This will leave your baby susceptible to that infection. Hence, follow the doctor's recommendation and administer the required number of doses of the vaccine.
