Preparing for Vaccination
Good preparation helps ensure the vaccination process goes smoothly and reduces anxiety for both parents and their little one:

- Bring your child for vaccination on schedule:Vaccinating on schedule is important for building a complete immune response.
- Disclose health history:Inform the doctor or nurse about any history of drug allergies, past illnesses, chronic conditions, or medications the child is currently taking.
- Bring the vaccination record book every time:To ensure an accurate and complete record of vaccinations.
- Ensure your child is fed or has had milk:To prevent hypoglycemia or dizziness.
- Prepare a toy or comfort object:To help distract and reduce fear during the injection.
