Pediatric Vaccine Response
Pediatric vaccine response refers to how a child's immune system reacts to a vaccine. When vaccinated, the immune system recognizes the vaccine's harmless parts of a virus or bacteria and learns to fight them. This creates protection so that if the child encounters the actual illness later, their body can respond quickly and effectively. Children's immune responses can vary based on age, health, and the type of vaccine. Overall, vaccines safely stimulate the immune system to build immunity, helping protect children from preventable diseases.
