IMMUNITY IN CHILDREN, VACCINATION, AND FIGHTING ALLERGIES: A SYSTEMIC APPROACH IN PEDIATRICS
Keywords:
Breastfeeding, a balanced diet, sufficient physical activity, and a clean ecological environment play an important role in strengthening a child's immune system. At the same time, through pediatric vaccinations, a child's body gains the ability to protect itself against various dangerous infections. The national vaccination calendar used in our country is aimed at supporting the formation of immunity in children.Abstract
Children's bodies are sensitive to environmental influences in the early stages of life. In particular, children whose immune systems have not yet fully developed are prone to many infectious diseases and allergic reactions. For this reason, strengthening the immune system, timely preventive vaccinations, and preventing allergic diseases are becoming increasingly important issues in pediatrics. Strengthening immunity is the basis for healthy development in a child.
