| Child Immunization Schedule Immunization is a way of protecting the human body against infectious diseases through vaccination. Immunization prepares our bodies to fight against diseases in case we come into contact with them in the future. Even if the baby is brought late for vaccinations, the baby should still receive all the vaccinations. While it is the best to follow the ideal immunization schedule, on no account should the baby be denied vaccinations, even if she is brought late for them. Every attempt should be made to complete full immunization.
