What are the benefits of early childhood vaccination?
Early childhood vaccination is one of the most studied and well-documented areas in Pediatrics. Numerous studies have shown that vaccines are highly effective in preventing serious diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella, and whooping cough. For example, a study published in the Pediatrics journal demonstrated that the introduction of the MMR vaccine significantly reduced the incidence of measles, mumps, and rubella in children. Vaccines not only protect the vaccinated child but also contribute to herd immunity, thereby protecting those who cannot be vaccinated due to medical reasons.
