Why Keeping to the Vaccination Schedule Matters
Vaccines train your child’s immune system to recognise and fight specific diseases — safely and effectively. Following the recommended schedule ensures protection is in place before your child is exposed to potentially serious infections.
Sticking to the schedule matters because:
Babies and young children are most vulnerable to certain diseases.
Some vaccines require multiple doses at specific intervals to be fully effective.
Delaying or skipping doses leaves gaps in protection.
Herd immunity — when a high percentage of the community is vaccinated — helps protect those who cannot be vaccinated, such as newborns and immunocompromised individuals.

Post-Vaccination Care
What to Expect After Your Child's Vaccination
It’s completely normal for your child to experience mild side effects after a vaccination. These are a sign that their immune system is responding. Common reactions include:
Redness, swelling or tenderness at the injection site
A cold compress can help soothe this.
Mild Fever or Irritability
Appropriate antifever medication can be given for comfort.
MMR & Chickenpox Delayed Reaction
After the MMR and chickenpox (Varicella) vaccines, a mild rash and low-grade fever may appear 7–10 days later. This is normal and usually lasts only a day or two.
MenB Leg Soreness
The MenB vaccine commonly causes more noticeable redness and swelling at the injection site, and your baby may be sore when moving their leg for a few days. This is expected and will settle.
