Vaccines help your child’s immune system fight off infections efficiently. They do so by sparking the response of their immune system to specific diseases. So, if the bacteria or virus tries to invade their body in the future, the immune system will already know how to protect the body against it.
Vaccines are generally very safe. It is far more likely for your child to be hurt by a disease that is vaccine-preventable, than by a vaccine. All vaccines have to go through a rigorous procedure of safety testing. This also includes conducting clinical trials before approving them for clinical use.
There are some antibodies present in the breast milk that can be passed to the baby, especially in a couple of days after birth. However, after a few weeks, this passive immunity starts wearing off. After this, breastfeeding provides little to no protection from serious infectious diseases. Therefore, even if you are planning on breastfeeding long-term, you have to get your child vaccinated.
