Answer 1

• Educate the parents about vaccine-preventable diseases like measles, Hepatitis A & B, Diptheria, etc.
• Teach them the benefits of vaccination and how this can keep their child safe like:

- Vaccination identifies the organism causing the disease as a foreign body and works on it.

- It produces antibodies to kill these organisms.

- It develops immunity in the child's body to fight against the disease if comes the second time.

• There will not be any adverse reactions due to vaccination rather than minor reactions like a rash or mild fever.
• Vaccination will help the upcoming generation from an epidemic. On vaccinating, not only the child will be safe but also the dear ones surrounding them.
