Young parents immediately after the birth of their child are faced with many problems. They need to learn to live with a new family member, understand the baby, and create comfortable conditions for him. The most important issues are those related to the health of the baby. When it comes to vaccinations, some parents have doubts, because in modern society there are constantly debates about the benefits and harms of vaccination. Therefore, vaccination at 2 months may even shock the mother and father due to a lack of understanding why such a serious procedure needs to be carried out at such an early age. However, immunity is not formed instantly; several stages must be completed to protect a person from dangerous diseases.
Why get vaccinated at such an early age?
In Soviet times, there was no question about the need for vaccination - it was mandatory. Now the situation has changed, and a child cannot be vaccinated without the consent of the parents, issued according to certain rules. Some are categorically against immunization, others postpone it to a later time, usually until they reach two years of age. Pediatricians, in turn, believe that the developed vaccination calendar takes into account all age-related characteristics, and the two-month procedure does not pose any danger; on the contrary, it is a step towards the formation of immunity.
Vaccination is the prevention of serious diseases. Thanks to it, it was possible to defeat such dangerous mass infections as tuberculosis or measles and avoid their epidemics. Timely immunization saves millions of children's lives every year.
The essence of the procedure is the introduction of weakened, killed or fragmented cells of viruses and bacteria into the body. The immune system reacts and begins to develop a tool to destroy them. This is how immunity is formed. The next time a real infectious agent attacks a person, the body will know how to defeat it.
Vaccinations for a child at 2 months are one of the stages of developing immunity.
Is immunization compulsory?
Despite the fact that doctors strongly recommend vaccinations specified in the National Calendar, immunization is not a compulsory procedure.
That is, whether or not to vaccinate a child is a personal matter for each parent. In case of refusal to undergo vaccination, the baby’s parents must sign the appropriate paper, which will be attached to the child’s medical record. Subsequently, if the parents change their minds, the immunization process can be resumed.
In such a situation, the child will be given injections according to an individual schedule developed by specialists, taking into account the characteristics of the child’s body and age.
What vaccination does a child get at 2 months?
The doubts and fears of parents are understandable, because the child is still so small, and the doctor is already making such serious prescriptions. Many people are afraid of side effects. But it is worth remembering that no reaction, even the most severe, can compare with the symptoms of diseases, which often lead to fatal consequences.
Vaccinations at two months protect a child from many diseases. This list is worth studying to make sure the procedure is necessary.
There are several mandatory vaccinations for a 2-month-old child, with different names, including hepatitis B and pneumococcus. The risk of developing hepatitis or pneumococcal infection in infancy is very high.
Hepatitis B
This is an infection that leads to liver destruction. Causes cirrhosis.
Vaccination is carried out according to the following scheme.
- The first vaccine is administered to a newborn in the first hours of life.
- A second procedure will follow a month later.
- In six months - the third.
Children at risk are vaccinated differently.
- The first vaccine - the same - after birth.
- The second - a month later.
- The third - at two months.
- The fourth - per year.

How to properly prepare your child for vaccination
To help your baby undergo the procedure without complications, the following rules should be followed.
- A week before vaccination, start monitoring your child. He must be absolutely healthy.
- Take blood and urine tests if the doctor has doubts about the condition of the little patient. Before DTP, this procedure is mandatory.
- If a child has a tendency to allergies, you should start taking antihistamines three days before the injection and continue for three days after the vaccination.
- Do not introduce new products to the menu of a nursing mother and baby.
- Prepare an antipyretic if the child has a fever.
Vaccination against pneumococcal infection
Recently introduced into the national calendar. The vaccine protects against pneumococcus, which causes otitis media, rhinosinusitis, pneumonia, tracheitis, bronchitis, and meningitis.
Pneumococcus is addictive to most types of antibiotics, so the only way to avoid serious illnesses caused by this type of streptococcus is to get vaccinated.
Vaccination schedule: for the first vaccination from 2-6 months, apply three times with an interval of at least 30 days and revaccination in the 2nd year; during the first vaccination from 7-11 months, it is administered two times with an interval of 30 days and revaccination in the 2nd year of life.
From one to two years of age, vaccinations are given twice every two months. From two to five years, one-time administration. After six years, doctors believe that there is no point in having such a vaccination.
Names of vaccinations against pneumococcal infection:
- Pneumo 23;
- Prevenar and Prevenar 13;
- Synflorix.
The name of the vaccine that can be given to a child at 2 months is Prevenar or Synflorix, and Pneumo 23 is used from the age of two.
Calendar of mandatory preventive vaccinations in the Russian Federation for children from 3 months to 1 year.
Mandatory three-time vaccines against infectious diseases: pneumococcus, diphtheria, whooping cough, polio, and for children at risk, vaccination against hemophilus influenzae is carried out.
The recommended interval between injections is one and a half months; it is recommended to start vaccinating from the age of three months. In one year, a comprehensive vaccine is administered against measles, rubella and mumps.
The baby receives these mandatory medications free of charge.
Immunization is one of the important measures that helps strengthen and maintain the health of children. Parents have the right to refuse vaccinations, but by doing so they put their child and other children at risk.
How to vaccinate correctly: what mothers need to know
The first thing to remember is how the vaccine is administered. There are several of them:
- intramuscularly;
- subcutaneously;
- cutaneously;
- intravenously;
- orally.
Infants are vaccinated intramuscularly or subcutaneously. In this case, intramuscular injection is carried out in the thigh or shoulder, since the procedure has been proven to be ineffective when injected into the buttock. The polio vaccine can be given in the form of drops that are placed in the baby's mouth.
The next, no less important, question is the place where the procedure will be carried out. This is either a clinic or a private center. In the first case, vaccination is completely free, using available drugs. If parents are not satisfied with the proposed remedy, they can purchase the necessary drug and bring it to the doctor. It is important to follow the rules of storage and transportation. Everything is simpler in the center. Vaccination is paid; the tariff includes the price of the desired vaccine and the cost of the procedure.
There are also rules that are important for every mother to remember.
- Immunization is carried out in accordance with the vaccination calendar. In essence, this is a list of mandatory vaccinations. Those not included in it are recommended. The calendar contains vaccination dates, which can be changed and selected individually if the baby was born premature, was sick at the time of the procedure, or had a blood transfusion.
- Before vaccination, the child must be examined by a doctor. The specialist will not only assess the condition of the little patient, but will also tell the mother about the features of the drug, possible reactions and remind her of what needs to be done to prevent the development of complications.
- The choice of vaccine is the right of parents.
- The vaccination is carried out by a specially trained specialist in the vaccination room, where all the necessary equipment is available to provide assistance to the child if necessary.
- You can refuse vaccinations.
Names of vaccinations for children included in the National Calendar
The National Immunoprophylaxis Calendar is a document approved by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, which provides a list of vaccinations for children and adults. On its basis, routine vaccination is carried out. The Russian calendar was approved on June 27, 2001 by order No. 229.
Children from birth until the age of 14-16 are required to be vaccinated against infection with the following infectious viral pathologies:
- hepatitis type B. Characterized by acute inflammation of the liver, cholestasis. The patient shows signs of intoxication. Without treatment, the pathology can lead to cirrhosis. People are vaccinated against hepatitis on the first day after the baby is born. Then they are revaccinated at 1.6 months;
- tuberculosis . The infection is localized in the lungs. Symptoms include cough with phlegm, weakness, chest pain, sudden weight loss, and night sweats. The pathology can be complicated by pulmonary hemorrhage, pleurisy, and lead to death. They are vaccinated against tuberculosis on days 3-7 after birth, and then at 6-7 years;
- measles _ An acute, highly contagious viral disease. It is characterized by a rash on the body, high fever, inflammation of the mucous membranes of the eyes, throat, and nose. Sometimes the disease leads to laryngeal stenosis, keratitis, otitis, pneumonia, and encephalitis. Measles is immunized at one year and at 6 years of age;
- polio . This is a viral disease that causes spinal paralysis. The pathology leads to disability and in some cases is fatal. Vaccination against polio is done at 3, 4.5, 6, 18 months, 14 years;
- whooping cough It is an infectious disease. Manifested by cough with sputum, fever and signs of intoxication. They are immunized against infection with pertussis microbes at 3, 4.5, 6, 18 months;
- parotitis . This is a viral pathology characterized by inflammation of the salivary glands and high fever. The disease poses a danger to males: those who recover from it often become infertile. Mumps vaccinations are given at 12 months and at six months;
. Acute infectious disease. More often the stick affects the pharynx. But the inflammatory process can also occur with necrosis of the mucous membrane of the eye, genital organs, nose and larynx. The pathology manifests itself as fever, difficulty breathing, enlarged cervical lymph nodes, and sore throat. May lead to otitis media, pneumonia, nephrosis, respiratory or multiple organ failure. Vaccination against diphtheria is given at 3, 4, 5, 6, 18 months, 6 and 14 years;
diphtheria- hemophilic diseases . This group includes meningitis, otitis media, pneumonia, etc. To protect against hemophilic pathologies, they are vaccinated at 3, 4, 5, 6, 18 months;
- tetanus _ A very dangerous bacterial disease. The main symptom is seizures. Effective medications for the treatment of this pathology have not yet been found. When the respiratory organs are affected by the pathogen, the disease ends in asphyxia and death. Tetanus vaccinations are given at 3, 4, 5, 6, 18 months, 6 and 14 years;
- rubella _ An infectious pathology characterized by a rash on the body and high fever. Particularly dangerous for pregnant women: it can cause congenital defects of the fetus. Immunization against rubella is carried out at 12 months and 6 years;
- flu . A viral disease that can cause complications in various organs and systems. Vaccinations begin for children from six months of age.
Vaccination forms stable immunity in 85-100% of vaccinated people. Even if a person who has completed a course of prophylaxis gets sick, he will not experience complications.
Rules for caring for your baby after vaccination
The child’s body is not yet strong enough, so vaccination is a real stress for him. In order for the procedure to be as comfortable as possible and not cause problems, you should remember how to care for the child after it.
- It is not recommended to leave the medical facility in the first half hour after the vaccine is administered. The fact is that such serious reactions as anaphylactic shock appear precisely during this period. Doctors will provide timely assistance.
- To prevent allergies and intestinal spasms, you should give your child antihistamines.
- The injection site may become swollen or red. There is no need to use ointments or cover it with a band-aid.
- On the first day after vaccination, the baby should not be bathed.
- Walking is not prohibited, but it is better to avoid crowded places, since the body is weakened by the administered drug, and the child is not protected from infections.
- If the temperature rises, you need to give an antipyretic. The temperature should be brought down above 38 degrees.
The relevance of vaccinating a child before school
Many parents are interested in the question of how important it is to vaccinate their child before going to school. After all, if he previously attended kindergarten and was practically not sick, it is possible that immunization does not make sense at all...
This is partly true. But if you look at things impartially and take into account research data provided by various organizations related to the field of medicine and healthcare, a not entirely rosy picture appears.
The fact is that not all children naturally have strong immunity that can withstand the powerful effects of infectious agents. And given the difficult environmental conditions and the presence of preservatives and other harmful chemicals in food products, only a few will have such an immune system.
The vast majority of children will need outside help to form a sustainable immune system response. Timely vaccination is an ideal way to protect a child’s body from life-threatening and health-threatening infections.
Dead or weakened pathogenic microbes that enter the body will not cause the development of the disease, but at the same time activate the body’s production of antibodies to the infectious agent. That is, once in a group that consists of children capable of carrying pathogenic viruses, the vaccinated child’s body will be protected from possible infections like a shield.
Even if a vaccinated child encounters bacteria, the disease is unlikely to affect his body.
What reactions are possible
Possible reactions are divided into local and general. Local symptoms include redness and slight swelling at the injection site; all this is absolutely normal and goes away without intervention. General reactions – fever, weakness, drowsiness. All symptoms disappear on the third day after vaccination.
In some cases, more serious complications are possible:
- anaphylactic shock syndrome;
- Quincke's edema;
- damage to the nervous system, such as encephalitis or meningitis;
- polio after vaccination against it;
- osteitis, osteomyelitis after BCG;
- arthritis after rubella vaccination.
If these symptoms develop, you should seek medical help immediately.
How to find out which vaccination and when to do it?
The child's parents may not monitor the progress of immunization. Responsible for this are medical workers working in the district clinic, educational and educational institutions.
In the first year of life, babies are vaccinated during regular preventive visits to the clinic. After admission to kindergarten and school, vaccination is carried out by health workers of the children's educational and educational institutions, respectively. Immunization is carried out on the basis of the National Calendar.
When not to vaccinate
Vaccination will be postponed if the child is sick or his chronic illness has worsened. If the pediatrician or parents have any doubts, the vaccination is postponed and the schedule is adjusted.
Prematurity, digestive disorders, eczema, and cerebral palsy are not absolute contraindications to immunization.
You will have to refuse vaccinations when your baby:
- the previous administration of the drug caused a severe allergy;
- encephalitis;
- immunodeficiency;
- convulsions without hyperthermia.
Contraindications to immunization
Parents can voluntarily refuse vaccinations at 2 months. To do this, you will need to write an official refusal indicating the validity period. If desired, immunization can be carried out after the specified time has passed.
It is also contraindicated to vaccinate at 2 months if:
- the baby has an elevated body temperature;
- During the examination, signs of respiratory diseases were found;
- less than 2 weeks have passed since recovery from a cold;
- the baby has an immunodeficiency or autoimmune diseases;
- the baby was born prematurely, and his current condition does not allow vaccinations;
- intolerance to any component of the vaccine has been identified.
