Why do we start vaccines at 6-8weeks?
because this is when the passive immunity from the colostrum of the mother is starting to wear off, the baby needs acquired immunity that is provided by vaccines
what are boosters shoots, why do we need them?
- they are small doses of the disease that is given multiple times to build antibodies so the immune system is stronger and can fight the disease if you catch it
- they allow for a greater efficiency of vaccines, they are the same vaccine provided again and again in a similar time frame
- boosts the immunity back up
