Your Child’s First Year: Essential Vaccination Schedule by Pediatricians in Vijayapura

The first year of your baby’s life is a critical time for immunity development, and following a proper vaccination schedule is the best way to protect against serious illnesses. From BCG to MMR, each vaccine plays a vital role in your child’s health and future well-being.

At Yashoda Hospital, our top pediatricians in Vijayapura provide parents with expert guidance on the complete vaccination schedule, ensuring your child receives timely, safe, and government-recommended immunizations.

💉 Why Are Baby Vaccinations So Important?

Vaccinations protect your baby from life-threatening diseases like tuberculosis, polio, hepatitis, diphtheria, measles, and more. Timely immunization not only protects your child but also reduces the spread of infections in the community.
