Protection of your child’s health is a priority for us. Primaya Hospital understands that the health of you and your family is very important, especially the health of your baby. Immunization is the best way to protect your baby from diseases. Schedule basic immunizations for your child from birth as babies and toddlers are very susceptible to disease. By immunizing your child, you can protect your family and your environment to stay healthy.

Immunization has become a worldwide disease prevention program. All member countries of the World Health Organization (WHO) have their own immunization programs to reduce the risk of transmission of certain diseases and improve public health. In Indonesia, the Ministry of Health implements immunizations for children from 0 to 18 years of age.

Definition and Types of Childhood Immunization

Childhood Immunization is giving vaccines to children to prevent transmission of certain diseases. Vaccines are substances that help build immunity against infection with a number of infectious diseases. Vaccines come from germs that are weakened or killed.

Indonesia recognizes the concept of complete routine immunization which consists of two types of immunization, namely basic immunization and advanced immunization. The implementation of the two types of immunization for children depends on the age of the child. Children need basic immunization as the main preventive measure. Advanced immunization is also important in order to maintain optimal immunity as the children grow. In addition, there are repeat immunizations or boosters as an immune booster.

 

Immunization Benefits

Immunization is one way to fight serious diseases. If you have received immunizations, your body will be better able to deal with and defeat infection. Apart from being useful for increasing children’s immunity against certain diseases, immunization for children is also beneficial for the general public.

When children are immunized, they help protect the general health of the general public as a whole. Because, when there are enough people in a community who are immune to infection, the more difficult it is for the disease to spread and infect other people who have not been immunized. This condition is known as herd immunity or community immunity. So, indirectly the children who receive immunizations have contributed to their community in terms of health.

 

Childhood Immunization Schedule

Indonesian Pediatric Society (Ikatan Dokter Anak Indonesia -IDAI) publishes recommended immunization schedules that serve as guidelines for health facilities. IDAI compiles these recommendations based on the latest developments regarding the immunization program and the results of immunization research globally. Therefore, there are updates in IDAI recommendations such as those in the 2020 immunization schedule.

According to IDAI’s 2020 Childhood Immunization schedule, there are a number of changes from the previous recommendations. Here are the details:
