The Hindu is hosting a free webinar on September 27 titled 'Vaccines: Armour Against Infectious Diseases' to discuss childhood and adult immunization. Experts will address common concerns, vaccine safety, and the importance of staying updated on recommended doses.
Why it matters
Public health education is critical for addressing vaccine hesitancy and ensuring community immunity against preventable diseases.
Vaccination plays an important role in preventing infectious diseases and reducing the risk of serious illness and complications. While childhood immunisation is a key part of disease prevention, vaccination needs can continue into adulthood depending on age, health conditions, occupation, travel and other factors.
The Hindu is hosting a free webinar, “Vaccines: Armour Against Infectious Diseases,” on Sunday from 11.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m.
The discussion will look at the importance of timely childhood vaccination, completing the recommended schedule and what parents should do when doses are missed. It will also address vaccination when a child is unwell, vaccines recommended in specific situations, and common concerns about vaccine safety and side-effects.
