Will my baby be able to handle so many injections? Routine childhood immunizations are designed to protect the baby against life-threatening diseases. For each condition, multiple doses must be given to develop adequate body protection. To minimize the number of pricks, there are vaccines consisting of antigens against several diseases. So, just by giving one prick, your baby will develop protection against several dangerous diseases. The dose of each of these antigens is minimal but sufficient to develop the needed response in the body. The baby's body can handle and process many antigens simultaneously. Are all the vaccines necessary or are there some optional vaccines? The childhood immunization schedule has been developed to protect against life-threatening diseases for infants and children. All the vaccines that are currently recommended are needed to provide the required protection. It is better to prevent these diseases rather than allow the child to remain unprotected and liable to getting infected. As such, there is no concept of optional vaccines anymore. 93
