Parents, don’t forget your child’s vaccination schedule.
Spring in Northern Vietnam, with its cold and humid climate, is an ideal environment for the growth and outbreak of viruses and bacteria such as influenza, whooping cough, measles, chickenpox, and mumps. Particularly, newborns and young children are at the highest risk of contracting these diseases due to their underdeveloped immune systems. To protect the health of your beloved children from dangerous infectious diseases in spring, parents need to arrange for their children to receive full and timely vaccinations.
- Children from 6 weeks old receive vaccines for pneumonia, otitis media, and meningitis
- Children from 7.5 weeks to under 8 months old receive vaccines for diarrhea
- Children from 2 months to under 24 months old receive vaccines for diphtheria – whooping cough – tetanus – polio – Hib – hepatitis B
