Pediatric Vaccinology

Pediatric vaccinology is the study of vaccines specifically for children, focusing on preventing infectious diseases that can affect their health. Vaccines are designed to help kids develop immunity by safely exposing them to weakened or inactive parts of germs. This preparation helps their immune system recognize and fight off infections before they cause serious illness. Pediatric vaccinology ensures that vaccines are effective, safe, and given at the right times to protect children from diseases such as measles, mumps, and whooping cough. It plays a crucial role in public health by reducing the spread of infections in communities.
