What can happen after being vaccinated?
Just like any other drug, vaccines also can cause some unfavourable effects. Most
of these are mild which include fever, pain, swelling and local redness at the site
of injection. In situations where these events are serious, it should immediately
be brought to the notice of the nearest qualified medical practitioner or health
worker.
Immunization is effective when:
1. Given at the correct age.
2. Given as correct dose.
3.Booster doses are given at the ages as advised.
The health centre or hospital issues an Immunization Card to each child. The card
has the date, the vaccines given on that date and the next date for vaccination.
Parents should keep the card carefully as it is a very important health document.
Adult Immunization
As with children, adults can also benefit from immunization if the correct dose
and schedule are followed. Listed below are some vaccines used in adults:
4.Hepatitis B vaccine given to any person who has not received it earlier, has
high risk of getting infected by the disease, such as doctors, nurses, lab
workers, and patients undergoing procedure such as repeated dialysis.
5.Rabies vaccine is given to people who have been bitten by a dog/monkey
suspected to be having Rabies.
6.Tetanus vaccine is given to pregnant women to prevent tetanus in newborn
babies and is used if a person has an injury and the wound has been suspected
