Vaccinations are a crucial part of preventive healthcare that helps protect individuals from infectious diseases. They work by stimulating the immune system to recognize and fight specific pathogens, significantly reducing the risk of illness.
At Dr. Singal's Comprehensive Care Clinic, Dr. Namrata Singal, Senior Consultant Pulmonologist, emphasizes the importance of vaccinations in maintaining respiratory and overall health.
Vaccinations play a vital role in public health for several reasons:
The frequency of vaccinations depends on the specific vaccine and your individual health needs. Some vaccines, like the flu shot, are recommended annually, while others may require booster doses every few years. Dr. Singal will provide personalized recommendations based on your health history.
If you miss a scheduled vaccination, it's important to reschedule as soon as possible. Many vaccines can still be administered after the recommended time frame, and Dr. Singal will guide you on the best course of action to catch up on missed vaccines.
