Timely vaccination is a cornerstone of pediatric healthcare, designed to provide children with crucial protection during their most vulnerable stages of development. Immunization schedules are carefully crafted based on scientific research to maximize a child's immunity against preventable diseases at the ages when they are most at risk. Adhering to these schedules ensures that children receive protection at the optimal times, minimizing the chance of serious illness, long-term complications and outbreaks within the community.
