Many parents, yielding agitation, refuse preventive vaccination, considering this act good for your baby. But without understanding the whole essence of vaccination and not knowing about the complications that cause disease, parents are wrong.
Many people mistakenly believe that the child will develop after vaccination severe reaction. Of course, individual allergy can be always, but the percentage of such complications is very low. To prevent possible complications to be vaccinated against the backdrop of desensitizing therapy.

It is important to remember and some advice: do not be vaccinated against the backdrop of infection and 14 days after, three days and a few days after vaccination should give the child antihistamines. Two days after vaccination did not bathe the baby and to refrain from walking.
