Many mothers of six-week-old babies run to the doctors worried. Painful crying, fever are often found after vaccination. But the biggest complaint of mothers is how logical and humane it is to insert four needles into four arms and legs of such a small child.

In this case, doctors say - then we first need to know that the child is being vaccinated for any disease. Six weeks of vaccination is mentioned here.

BCG is administered in the left arm. It prevents tuberculosis from spreading throughout the body and covering the brain. Both diseases can be fatal.

Polio vaccine is injected into the right arm. Polio leads to paralysis. Vaccination against pneumococcus bacteria in the right thigh. This bacterium is responsible for pneumonia, meningitis and some other serious diseases.

Five disease vaccines are given simultaneously in the left thigh. Hepatitis B is a virus that can be transmitted through blood, sexual contact and from mother to child. It can cause long-term liver infection and cancer. Haemophilus influenzae is a deadly bacterium; Which can cause some other serious diseases including pneumonia, meningitis.

Diphtheria is another bacterial disease that affects the throat, tonsils. Many times the toxin can enter the blood and spread to the heart, nervous system and cause death. Whooping cough is also caused by bacteria. The child suffers from this disease with severe pain along with cough for a long time.

If tetanus is the disease, the child will bend like a bow and have terrible convulsions. The mortality rate is also very high in this disease. Children are being protected from so many deadly diseases completely free of cost. The dose and dose of the vaccine is fixed by the World Health Organization.

Another thing is that some reactions can occur hours to days after any vaccination. Pain, fever, shortness of breath, convulsions can also occur. But this number is very low. It is inappropriate not to vaccinate because of this fear.
