Worried About Your Child’s Delayed Immunization? Opt for Home Services by Rainbow Hospitals
Nov 30, 2022
A lot of things have been brought to a standstill because of the lockdown. The health sector has been constantly fighting against the crisis, while also trying to provide other services normally. However, it has still caused delayed vaccination as many children remain partially vaccinated or unvaccinated. Given the importance of vaccination for an individual’s life and health, Rainbow Hospitals is offering home vaccination services to ensure there is no delay in your child’s immunization.
Delay in vaccination can be particularly worrying for parents. Due to the lockdown, there are concerns regarding infections, delays in vaccine administration, and visits to the pediatrician. You should stay in touch with your child’s pediatrician to get guidance on delayed baby vaccination and precautionary measures.
Why is vaccination important?
Prevention is always better than cure. Getting vaccination for different diseases and ailments protects you from suffering the consequences and seeking medication. Vaccination helps defend your child’s body and prevents infectious diseases, some of which can even be fatal. It is due to vaccination that diseases like smallpox and polio have been successfully eradicated. Hence you must get your child vaccinated without much delay.
It is normal to be concerned about visiting the hospital during such times. Something like home vaccination services has come to the rescue. The top reasons to get vaccinated include:
• Vaccination protects adults and children from dangerous diseases that can even be fatal or cause some sort of physical disability.
• If you don’t have immunization, it is possible to get infected with the disease and even spread the disease to family members who aren’t vaccinated or have low immunity.
• If you do get infected with the disease, the medical cost will be much higher compared to that of vaccination.
Benefits of vaccination at home
The procedure of administering the vaccine is relatively simple and can be done at home under the supervision of a trained nurse. When you opt for baby vaccination at home, you get benefits like:
1. The most obvious of all benefits is that you will be able to avail the services of a nurse or doctor straight from the comfort of your home. You won’t have to travel and visit the hospital or wait in queues for your turn.
2. Vaccination can be particularly stressful for children. Getting them vaccinated at their homes makes the process a lot easier. The familiar environment and presence of family members help the child to relax better.
3. When you get the vaccination at home, you also have the option to choose the time and date for the vaccination according to your schedule. You won’t have to leave any important work just to make it for the doctor’s appointment.
A delay in vaccination is indeed manageable. However, deferred doses must be administered as soon as possible. Missing vaccination puts your child at risk of contracting the disease the vaccine was supposed to protect against. So, avail home vaccination services to protect your child.
