Reference : Center for Disease Control and Prevention, USA
Through a month before and through 6 years old, a child must have his/her vaccinations religiously. It is a must to have these shots as these are medicines that would boost the immune system of the child. It will develop anti-bodies to fight off the strain of virus that may attack the child. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this is a chart that would summarize the essentials you need for your new born. 

Of course, your pediatrician would also tell you what vaccinations should be given to the baby. Even though having a baby is costly because of the operation, labor, doctor’s fee, hospital bills, baby’s clothes, crib and milk, adding mandatory vaccinations on top of all those would ultimately increase more bills. However, despite the expenses we should always consider first the health of the baby rather than other things. 

Ensuring that the baby will grow up healthy is priceless. Consult your doctor immediately to know what other vaccinations are needed for children 7 years and older. These vaccines protect our babies from illness and diseases. 

Some are the most common ones:

Chicken Pox (disease spread by air and/or direct contact)
Hib – protects kids from influenza b (disease spread by air and/or direct contact)
Hepatitis A (disease spread by direct contact or contaminated water/food)
Hepatitis B (disease contact with blood or body fluids)
Flu - (disease spread by air and/or direct contact)
Measels - (disease spread by air and/or direct contact)
Mumps - (disease spread by air and/or direct contact)
Polio (disease spread by air and/or direct contact and through the mouth)
DTap – protects from extreme cough, tetanus and swelling of the heart
PCV – protects from pneumonia and infections in the lungs
RV – protects from fever nausea and diarrhea
