Neonatal vaccination refers to the administration of vaccines to infants within the first month of life, aiming to provide early protection against infectious diseases. While some vaccines are given shortly after birth, others are scheduled in subsequent weeks, following a carefully designed immunization schedule. Common neonatal vaccines include those targeting hepatitis B, which is often administered shortly after birth to prevent perinatal transmission. Additionally, vaccines against tuberculosis, polio, and other diseases are typically initiated in the first few weeks of life. Neonatal vaccination is crucial as it establishes early immunity in infants who are particularly vulnerable to severe infections. It also contributes to the concept of "herd immunity," helping protect those who are unable to receive vaccinations due to medical reasons. Ensuring high vaccination coverage in neonates is a public health priority, as it prevents the spread of infectious diseases and minimizes the risk of outbreaks. Neonatal vaccination programs are continuously updated to incorporate new vaccines and enhance protection against a broader range of pathogens, contributing to improved global child health.
