Vaccines Every Child Should (graduation day) Have

By Danial Holland

 We all know that in order to prevent serious illnesses from affecting our children we must take them to the doctor at predetermined periods for vaccination. Parents need to know when it is the most indicated moment for such a shot and against which disease is their child protected.

In this article parents can find information regarding the immunization schedule for children aged 0-6 years and the diseases their children will be protected from.

At birth your child will receive the first shot of the HBV vaccine. HBV refers to hepatitis B virus which infects the liver and during adulthood can cause liver cancer and death. The vaccine against this virus consists of 3 shots. The first shot is given at birth, the second between 1 and 2 months and the third between 6 to 18 months. It is important not to skip any of the 2 or 3 shot or else the previous vaccination will be ineffective.

Another important vaccine is the DTaP vaccine good against: diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis. Diphtheria attacks the heart and the throat causing heart failure and death. Tetanus causes muscle spasms and finally death. Pertussis is responsible for severe coughing and can lead to pneumonia, convulsions and brain lesions.

The DTaP vaccine must be taken in 5 shots: the first during month 2, the second in month 4, then month 6, month 15 and between year 4 and 6.

At month 2, month 4 and month 6 your child will be given the Hib vaccine which will keep him safe from Haemophilus influenza type b. Hib can cause pneumonia, meninigitis and throat infections that can lead to choking. Sometimes the Hib vaccine can be given together with the HBV vaccine in the same shot.

Another vaccine given at month 2, 4, 6 and 12 is the PCV (the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine). PCV will protect your child against severe ear infections and meningitis.

The IPV (inactivated poliovirus vaccine) is made for preventing polio, a serious illness that can cause muscle pain and paralysis of one or both legs or arms. It can lead to death. The vaccine is given in 4 shots, at 2, 4, 10 months and the last shot between 4 and 6 years.

Professions and Occupations: What Is the Best One in the World?.

By Alvin Hanson

 People tend to acquire knowledge in order to achieve something. Reading and writing train our academic skills, while higher education allows people to acquire specific knowledge that can be used in future career. There are a great number of different professions and occupations. You can choose any profession and succeed in a definite area. Some people search for more lucrative activities, while others need inspiration to create masterpieces.

The Best Profession

This topic would be more relevant for children of a young age. It would be interesting to know what profession can be considered the best among children. It is natural for children to think that the profession of their parents is the best in the world. Some highschool graduates think the same and even try to apply for the same college as their parents. However, you should think about your preferences and inclination. It is up to you to decide concerning your profession.

Most people try to combine their natural skills and abilities and the acquired ones. It is natural to seek for recognition and positive appraisal, though not all professions become the source of these elements.

The Most Appropriate Profession

The best profession is not the same as the most appropriate one. You should think about your natural talents and combine them with your professional activity. Do not think that the profession that you consider the best in the world would appear the most appropriate variant for you. Sometimes you can encounter difficulties and problems even being engaged into the best activity ever. Actors and actresses that seem to belong to the best profession in the world are not likely to escape difficulties in personal life and career.

Do not try to obtain the highest position if you do not think that you can manage to solve all problems. At the same time, you cannot solve all problems even having the highest position.
