During the pregnancy the maternal
antibodies passed to the growing baby across the placenta. It provides the baby
with the most significant passive protection during their early weeks to months
of life. When the mother is immunised against these diseases during her
pregnancy it saves her baby also. Vaccinating
in pregnancy is the best way to offer protection to the young infant when
they are too young to have been fully vaccinated themselves.
A woman who is breastfeeding can be immunised safely with both inactive vaccines
such as tetanus, hepatitis B, and human papillomavirus vaccines, and active
vaccines such as measles vaccines.
The measles, vaccine viruses have not
been found in breast milk after maternal immunisation. The level of antibodies
infants gets from their mother over time, leaving them susceptible until they
are vaccinated.
Measles
can be very drastic for your baby. It causes fever, rash, cough, runny
nose, and red, watery eyes. Some complications also include like ear infection,
diarrhea, pneumonia, brain damage, and death.
Child Specialist in Noida
says, ‘MMR vaccine is safe, and it
is very effective at preventing measles’. But like any medicine, Vaccines can
have side effects. Most babies who get MMR vaccine do not have any serious
problems with it. In fact getting MMR vaccine is much safer than getting
measles.
But the MMR vaccine isn't given until a baby is 12 months old is because
babies have passive immunity from their mothers against measles. And
if giving the vaccine too early when there are live antibodies present may just
make the vaccine worthless. The immune system of babies may not be ready until
12 months for the MMR vaccine.
