Comprehensive Vaccination Treatment for Babies, Young, and Older Individuals at Singla Hospital

Vaccination is one of the most effective public health interventions, playing a critical role in preventing infectious diseases across all age groups. At Singla Hospital, we provide comprehensive vaccination treatments for babies, young children, and older individuals, ensuring long-term protection against various illnesses. Our team of medical experts is committed to delivering safe and effective vaccinations, making immunization a smooth and stress-free experience for families.

Importance of Vaccination

Vaccination helps protect individuals from a range of serious diseases by stimulating the immune system to develop immunity without causing the disease itself. It is especially crucial for babies and young children, whose immune systems are still developing, but it remains essential for adults as well. Regular vaccination ensures a community-wide defense, preventing outbreaks and maintaining herd immunity, which protects even those who cannot be vaccinated due to medical reasons.

At Singla Hospital, we believe in the power of vaccines to save lives and are dedicated to offering the latest and safest immunization options for all age groups.

Vaccination for Babies

Vaccination for babies is essential because they are highly vulnerable to infections. The immune systems of newborns and infants are still developing, making them susceptible to a wide range of diseases. Following a structured vaccination schedule helps protect them from potentially life-threatening illnesses.

Newborn Vaccination (Birth to 1 Month): Newborns receive their first set of vaccines within hours of birth, which helps protect them from diseases like hepatitis B. At Singla Hospital, we ensure that newborns are administered the hepatitis B vaccine shortly after birth, providing them with a foundation for lifelong immunity.

Infant Vaccination (2 to 12 Months): During the first year, babies receive multiple vaccines to guard against diseases such as diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), rotavirus, and pneumococcal infections. These vaccines are typically administered in a combination form to reduce the number of injections required.

Vaccination for Young Children

As children grow, their exposure to different environments increases, especially when they start attending school or daycare. Continued vaccination is necessary to protect them from contagious diseases that can easily spread in group settings.

Preschool Vaccination (2 to 5 Years): By the time children reach preschool age, they should have completed most of their primary vaccines. However, some vaccines, such as the DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis) and IPV (inactivated poliovirus) boosters, are required to maintain immunity.

School-Age Vaccination (5 to 12 Years): As children enter school, they may be exposed to new risks. Vaccines such as the MMR booster, varicella (chickenpox) vaccine, and the annual flu vaccine are recommended for school-aged children. Additionally, the HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine is recommended for older children to protect against certain types of cancer caused by the virus.

Vaccination for Teenagers and Young Adults

As children transition into adolescence, there are several additional vaccines that are important to safeguard their health. Adolescents and young adults are at risk for certain infections as their social interactions increase, including those spread by close contact.

HPV Vaccine: The HPV vaccine is particularly important for both boys and girls, as it protects against various strains of the human papillomavirus, which can lead to cervical, throat, and other cancers. The vaccine is typically given at ages 11 to 12, but it can be administered as early as age 9.

Meningococcal Vaccine: The meningococcal vaccine is recommended for teenagers, especially those entering college or living in group settings, as they are at increased risk for meningococcal disease, a serious bacterial infection that affects the brain and spinal cord.
