The Benefits of Newborn Immunizations

You’ve just welcomed your brand new little one into the world. Congratulations! Being a parent is a wonderful gift, and protecting your child is one of your first priorities as a parent. You’re already getting the hang of feeding, changing and cuddling your infant. Your next step is to visit your local pediatrician for newborn vaccinations.

At AGC Pediatrics, we recommend that all parents immunize their children. Below, we list the benefits of newborn vaccinations.

Newborn Immunizations Prevent Diseases

Immunizations prevent diseases more than ever before, providing safety for your little one. Because there are so many vaccinations in the medical world today, many diseases have essentially become extinct. Diseases like polio are now eradicated in America, which once crippled and debilitated thousands of children.

Newborn Vaccinations are Safe

There is a new trend among parents in which many avoid vaccinations because they believe them to be unsafe. Unfortunately, this is mostly based in a poor understanding of vaccination risk.

Some vaccinations can cause redness, pain or tenderness at the site of the injection and some children may experience allergic reactions to immunizations, but these reactions are very rare. The diseases these vaccinations prevent are much more dangerous than the immunizations themselves.

Newborn Immunizations Protect Others

Immunizations help eliminate diseases in the world by eliminating their growth and spread. By ensuring your newborn receives the immunizations they need, you’re protecting younger children from experience harmful diseases before they can receive the appropriate vaccinations.

Newborn Vaccinations Save Money

Getting your children immunized can help save money in the long run, along with keeping your kids safe. Vaccinations can prevent long-term disabilities, medical bills and time off work.
