Vaccination is a very important health issue on the global level as it is an effective measure to prevent diseases. Pediatricians are required to vaccinate children. As an illustration, heed the vaccination schedule recommended by the CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Academy of Family Physicians, and shield high-risk children from illnesses that can be prevented by vaccination. Single-shot, slow-acting vaccinations immunize the children gradually. Two shots of the measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella are administered to children 12 months of age and up. Taken together, vaccination lowers disease incidence and mortality rates and it should be recommended for all children without any limitations.
