As a first time mom, when my daughter had her first vaccination I actually cried because I felt her pain. And as moms, I know that we would rather endure that pain for our chikdren if we could. But I know how important immunizations are for her to keep her safe and healthy.
As she grew up, I always talk to her and tell her why vaccinations are important. She still cries but after that, all is well. She knows that immunizations will keep her "strong and healthy".
Immunizations are very important especially during the first 1000 days of life of a child because it protects them from serious and fatal diseases that are vaccine preventable. And booster doses are also very important to help keep the antibodies at protective levels.
