CHILDHOOD VACCINATION SCHEDULE

  • Timing: Vaccines are given in multiple doses starting from birth up to adolescence according to age-specific guidelines.
  • Safety: Vaccines are thoroughly tested for safety and side effects are generally mild and temporary if any occur.
  • Community Benefit: Widespread vaccination promotes herd immunity protecting vulnerable individuals unable to vaccinate.
  • Tracking: Maintaining an updated vaccination record is essential for school entry and routine health checks.

A strong vaccination program significantly reduces outbreaks and protects children from potentially life-threatening infections throughout childhood and beyond.

NEWBORN SCREENING TESTS

Newborn Screening Tests

Early detection of certain medical conditions in newborns is crucial for timely intervention and preventing complications. Newborn screening tests are a set of blood tests done shortly after birth to identify disorders that may not be apparent initially.

  • Purpose: Detect metabolic, genetic, and endocrine disorders early before symptoms arise.
  • Procedure: A few drops of blood are collected from the baby’s heel within the first 48-72 hours of life.
  • Conditions Screened: Includes hypothyroidism, phenylketonuria (PKU), sickle cell disease, and others depending on regional protocols.
  • Follow-up: Abnormal results require further diagnostic testing and prompt treatment initiation.
  • Outcome: Early treatment can prevent severe developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, or even death.
