In addition to good and nutrition food for babies and children, immunization is an important thing that needs to be done by parents to their babies and children in supporting their health.
Immunization can protect the baby and child from various virus attacks, so it is expected that a baby and a child who is very susceptible to the disease will be more robust and maintained their health. We certainly agree that preventive action or prevention is better than medicinal treatment and the baby is everything for his parents, so since the birth of the baby, do regular immunization. It will maintain the child’s health and impact the growth of perfect physical, psychological and intelligence.
