Your Child's Immunizations At birth, infants have protection against certain diseases because antibodies have passed through the placenta from the mother to the unborn child. After birth, breastfed babies get the continued benefits of additional antibodies in breast milk. But in both cases, the protection is only temporary. Immunization (vaccination) is a way of creating immunity to certain diseases by using small amounts of a killed or weakened microorganism that causes the particular disease. Microorganisms can be viruses, such as the measles virus, or they can be bacteria, such as pneumococcus. Vaccines stimulate the immune system to react as if there were a real infection ” it fends off the "infection" and remembers the organism so that it can fight it quickly should it enter the body later. Some parents may hesitate to have their kids vaccinated because they're worried that the children will have serious reactions or may get the illness the vaccine is supposed to prevent. Because the components of vaccines are weakened or killed” and in some cases, only parts of the microorganism are used” they're unlikely to cause any serious illness. Some vaccines may cause mild reactions, such as soreness where the shot was given or fever, but serious reactions are rare.

Pneumococcal Vaccine (PCV) The pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) protects against pneumococcal infections. The bacterium is the leading cause of serious infections, including pneumonia, blood infections, and bacterial meningitis. Children under 2 years old are most susceptible to serious pneumococcal infections. The pneumococcus bacterium is spread through person-to-person contact. The vaccine not only prevents the infection in children who receive it, it also helps stop its spread.

Immunization Schedule PCV immunizations are given as a series of four injections starting at 2 months of age and following at 4 months, 6 months, and 12 to 15 months. Children who miss the first dose or may have missed subsequent doses due to vaccine shortage should still receive the vaccine, and your child's doctor can give you a modified schedule for immunization.

SUMMARY:. Pneumococcal Vaccine (PCV) The pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) protects against pneumococcal infections. The bacterium is the leading cause of serious infections, including pneumonia, blood infections, and bacterial meningitis. Children under 2 years old are most susceptible to serious pneumococcal infections. The vaccine not only prevents the infection in children who receive it, it also helps.At birth, infants have protection against certain diseases because antibodies have passed through the placenta from the mother to the unborn child. Microorganisms can be viruses, such as the measles virus, or they can be bacteria, such as pneumococcus. Some parents may hesitate to have their kids vaccinated because they're worried that the children will have serious reactions or may get the illness the vaccine is supposed to prevent. Because the components of vaccines are weakened or killed” and in some cases, only parts of the microorganism are used” they're unlikely to cause any serious illness. Some vaccines may cause mild reactions, such as soreness where the shot was given or fever, but serious reactions are rare to its spread.

REACTION: Yes I agree on this article that the baby must be fully immunized, even if they have an antibody that serves as their protection against such disease it is only temporary, so the baby must have all kind of vaccination for them to become fully immunized baby. This vaccine will kill or weakened the microorganism that causes the particular disease. Vaccines stimulate the immune system to react as if there were a real infection” it fends off the "infection" and remembers the organism so that it can fight it quickly should it enter the body later. So it is very important for a baby to have an immunization it will help the baby to become healthy and it will serve as protection from the future invader or foreign object as they grow. Recommended Vaccinations: Hepatitis B Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) , DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis) , Hib (meningitis) , IPV (polio) , Influenza , MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) ,Varicella (chickenpox) , MCV4 (bacterial meningitis) , Hepatitis A for them to be called as fully immunized baby.

PROGRESS NOTES SUMMARY: We started our duty with a morning prayer held near the chapel in SMC by the lead of Mr. Cabunoc. After the morning circle a short orientation followed then each one of as provide a photocopy related to our concept and discussion all about immunology. Mr. Galo is the one who is assigned for the photocopy to be used so we wait for him, At 9:30 after we received the photocopy we immediately deported from the school to our designated area in the Health center in Suaybaguio, we divided our groups, some are assigned to get the patents VS while the other are conducting Leopold’s maneuver. When 11:30 am arrived 4 members remain in the health center for vital signs taking for all the patients that will be arrive. So others deployed their pair groups to find some patient to be interview. When the time all of us are finished in our entire task so we take our lunch and when back at 1:00pm to have our research, when 3:10pm passed we went to our respective houses safely and soundly.

REFLECTION: On this day I feel relaxed, maybe this concept is our rest day from all our hospital duty, even thought it is very far and very hot to find a client for me it is very enjoy. While I am assessing my client I felt pity for her because she is a blue baby have a small whole in her heart and it is a caution to her to get tired. And we know the nature of a toddler they are very active and alert while playing. So all I can do is to pray for her to have more blessings to come in her life. God bless us always.

PROGRESS NOTES SUMMARY: We started our 2nd day of duty with a morning prayer together with the group A2. After the morning circle we immediately deported our selves to our designated area in Prk. Suaybaguio health center. Upon arriving we immediately prepare our paraphernalia to use in getting the VS of the patients. We assisted the community health care nurse in performing their prenatal procedure. This day is a prenatal day so many parents and pregnant mother arrived for the weakly check-up. So all we do is to scale their weight, check their VS and transcribed it. When 11:30 am arrived after we finished all our tasks we take our lunch break and be back at 1:00pm for the lecture headed by Mam Lesley. After the lecture about immunization we proceed to the library to have a research and at 3:00pm we went to our respective houses safely and soundly.

REFLECTION: This day is somewhat opposite for yesterdays duty, today is a prenatal day so many mother went to the health center to have their weakly check-up, so we are slightly busy unlike yesterday’s activities. In this day also I got many tips from Mam Lesley’s sharing of experiences in her past board examination. This day is very inspiring days for me hoped someday I will become a registered nurse for the fulfillment of my dreams, God bless us always.
