Basic immunizations are given from birth so that children are protected against preventable diseases such as hepatitis B, tuberculosis, polio, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, measles, and rubella. In general, babies receive hepatitis B at birth, BCG and polio in the first month, then DPT-HB-Hib, polio, PCV, and rotavirus in stages up to around four months of age, and measles-rubella at nine months. Follow-up immunizations are given in the toddler and school years. The complete schedule can be found in the KIA (Maternal and Child Health) book or the schedule from the Indonesian Pediatric Society (IDAI).<\/p>\n
Many myths are still circulating, for example that vaccines cause autism. In fact, numerous large studies have found no such link. Another myth says children should not be immunized if they have a mild cough or cold, when in fact mild conditions without a high fever are generally not a barrier.<\/p>\n
A mild fever, fussiness, or swelling at the injection site are normal reactions that usually improve within one to two days. If a child is behind on immunizations, the schedule can be caught up without having to start over from the beginning.<\/p>\n
See a doctor immediately if, after immunization, your child has a very high fever, seizures, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
