Prevenar Vaccine - vaccine that will protect your Baby from pneumonia, blood poisoning and meningitis

Prevenar Vaccine - vaccine that will protect your Baby from pneumonia, blood poisoning and meningitis
have scheduled Prevenar Vaccine. So what is Prevenar Vaccine? I admit that I don’t know this kind of vaccine, so I decided to search Google and look for the meaning of this shot.

Here is the meaning of this serum that was given to my baby.

*Prevenar is a pneumococcal vaccine that contains extracts from seven of the most common types of Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. These bacteria are responsible for causing invasive diseases such as pneumonia, blood poisoning and meningitis. The vaccine works by provoking the body's immune response to the bacteria, without causing the diseases.



When the body is exposed to foreign organisms, such as bacteria and viruses, the immune system produces antibodies against them. Antibodies help the body recognizes and kill the foreign organisms. They then remain in the body to help protect the body against future infections with the same organism. This is known as active immunity.

The immune system produces different antibodies for each foreign organism it encounters. This establishes a pool of antibodies that helps protect the body from various different diseases.
Vaccines contain extracts or inactivated forms of bacteria or viruses that cause disease. These altered forms of the organisms stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies against them, but don't actually cause disease themselves. The antibodies produced remain in the body so that if the organism is encountered naturally, the immune system can recognize it and attack it, thus preventing it from causing disease.

Each bacteria or virus stimulates the immune system to produce a specific type of antibody. This means that different vaccines are needed to prevent different diseases.

Prevenar contains inactivated extracts from seven of the most common types of Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. It stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies against these bacteria and thus is given to prevent the diseases that they can cause.

This pneumococcal vaccine is now part of the childhood immunization schedule. This vaccine will usually be given as three doses, at two, four and thirteen months of age.

Hopefully my new born infant will be safe from all these foreign elements that might attack his immune system and that this pricey injection will work and be able to help my baby grow as a healthy toddler.

For first time parents like Katrine and I, we are very cautious about our son’s health so we make sure that everything is doing good, fortunately we are very pleased that our tot is growing fast and in good physical shape, he’s actually overweight for his age at 3 months but the doctor said its fine and we have nothing to worry about.

My baby Kobe was due again for another vaccine and this will be the second of three vaccines that his pediatrician will inject to his precious legs.

I have posted an entry before about this vaccine and for the benefit of first time parents and parents to be I would like to add few more things that would help parents fight against the harm that this disease would bring to your baby.

Pneumococcal disease is a leading cause of illness in children throughout the world. The disease is caused by a common bacterium, the pneumococcus, which can attack different parts of the body. Illnesses that can be caused by the pneumococcus (or the "pneumo bug") include pneumonia, meningitis and otitis media (middle ear infection).

Having your baby this prevenar vaccine will prevent invasive pneumococcal disease (eg pneumonia, meningitis or blood poisoning) caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria in children aged two months to five years.

This pneumococcal vaccine is now part of the childhood immunization schedule. This vaccine will usually be given as three doses, at two, four and thirteen months of age. There will be a catch-up campaign for children up to two years who have already started their immunizations.

The prevenar vaccination is given as an injection into the muscle of the thigh for babies under one year and the upper arm for older children.

After the vaccine has been done, your baby might have flu so just like what my baby’s pediatrician told us, do not wait for this thing to happen as it advised that you give the necessary medication for your tot. A paracematol would be fine and the dosage will vary for us we give Kobe a 0.9 ml of paracematol.

I hope I was able to give important information for parents out there. Until my next posting.
