Why is it important to vaccinate infants for certain diseases shortly after birth quizlet?

Immunization, also called vaccination or shots, is an important way to protect an infant's health. Vaccinations can prevent more than a dozen serious diseases. Failure to vaccinate may mean putting children at risk for serious and sometimes fatal diseases.1

Show

    Infants are particularly vulnerable to infections; that is why it is so important to protect them with immunization. Immunizations help prevent the spread of disease and protect infants and toddlers against dangerous complications.1

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides a list of diseases that can be prevented with vaccines, as well as the benefits and risks of vaccination.

    The CDC publishes a schedule of immunizations recommended for infants. These recommendations are approved by the CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Academy of Family Physicians.

    The CDC also offers an immunization schedule that can be customized for each child.

    Why is it important to vaccinate infants for certain diseases shortly after birth?

    Vaccinations are only necessary for infants in underdeveloped countries shortly after birth.
    Infant immune systems are very strong from all the antibodies they receive from their mothers and do not require vaccinations until they are two years old.
    Infant immune systems are strong but need a boost from vaccines shortly after birth to sustain it.
    Vaccinations allow protection from serious or fatal diseases before their own immune system develops.

    Vaccinations allow protection from serious or fatal diseases before their own immune system develops.

    How does lactation keep up with the high demand of a growing infant?

    The more the infant suckles, the more milk is produced by positive feedback mechanisms.
    The mother will not be able to keep up with the high demand the growing infant requires, that is why breastfeeding is insufficient once the baby is 3 months old.
    As the infant ages, he will require more milk, and greater production will be made by a negative feedback mechanism.
    The let-down reflex will stimulate milk production to keep up with the demand.

    The more the infant suckles, the more milk is produced by positive feedback mechanisms.

    HEALTH

    There are four people in my family: me, my mom, and my two older sisters. My mom adopted all three of us when I was very young. I don't remember my birth parents, so this is the only family I've ever known. Like any other family, we get into arguments sometimes. But we also take care of each other. My sisters help me with homework, and my mom is always there for us. My mom thinks it's important for my sisters and me to be in touch with our Korean heritage. Even though she's not Korean, she learned to make Korean foods for us. Every year we go to the local heritage festival to celebrate our traditions as a family. It makes me feel valued to know that Mom respects our heritage and doesn't want us to change. The author mentions arguments to show that (a) his family is not healthy. (b) he gets along with his mother but not with his sisters. (c) his family is supportive and caring. (d) his family is much like any other.
