Akoa baby just had an MMRV vaccination yesterday. Sa Israel the moment manganak ka, naay baby screening nga physical ug blood tests, tanan icheck imoha newborn if healthy ba aron makagawas mo. After ana naay separate health entity called TIPAT HALAV para sa babies diri ang ga monitor sa height, weight ug kadako sa ulo (head circumference) ug normal ba according sa edad and most especially ang schedule sa vaccination. Naay website, application and text messages nila every month para sa appointment. Kini tanan gikan hospital bills to tipat halav, di mi mopagawas ug kwarta para magbayad kay apil na ni sa amoa health insurance diri nga subsidized sa amoa tax deductions sa amoa salary slips.
Duha ka doses ang i bakuna diri, once mg 1 year ang baby and sunod kanang grade 1 na or around 6 years old.
So unsa man diay ning MMRV?
MMRV vaccine is a combination injection that protects against four viral infections: measles, mumps, rubella (German measles) and varicella (chickenpox). Makamatay ni nga mga sakit? Yes, very-especially if ang complications are pneumonia or encephalitis nga maka cause ug inflammation sa utok labi na sa mga bata.
So daghan kaajo commotion sa social media about it. Asa man jud gagikan ang fear nga nag spread online against vaccination? As a parent makasabot jud ko both sides kadtong mi support ug kadtong midumili. Vaccination is not about being a “good parent” or a “bad parent.” It’s about making the best decision we can for our children.
I understand nganong naay parents nga mahadlok or magduha-duha. As parents, natural ra gyud nga mo question ta especially when it comes to our babies.
Pwede man ta mangutana. Unsa ni nga vaccine?Unsa ang possible side effects? Effective ba gyud ni? Need ba gyud ni sa akong baby? There is nothing wrong with asking questions. Pero at the same time we also need to be careful asa ta mokuha sa informations. Dili tanan makita nato sa Facebook TikTok nga gikan sa personal stories accurate jud na. Wa ta kahibawo sa entire medical history sa bata. Kung ikaw inahan nga kahibaw ka nga naay underlying condition imoha anak and hinay ug immune system nga feeling nimo nga mo react unja ang immune system sa vaccine, then imoha na nga katungod mo no sa bakuna. The best jud nga mokunsolta ka sa mga health consultants or pediatricians nga imoh ginasaligan para ma clear mg doubts.
One scary story sa facebookcan make us afraid, but one story is not the same as scientific evidence. Di ta motoo derecho sa unsay nabasa sa social media. Vaccines are not completely risk-free. Pero kining mga sakit nga measles, mumps ug chickenpox have risks too especially for babies and young children.
For me, I choose vaccination because after looking at the evidence, I believe the protection it gives is worth it.
Not because I blindly trust. Not because I think parents who hesitate are stupid.And definitely not because I want to judge anyone.I choose it because I want to protect my child.
And I believe we can support vaccination without attacking parents who are still scared, confused, or unsure.
Fear deserves understanding.
Questions deserve honest answers.
And decisions should be based on facts, not fear.
At the end of the day lahi-lahi man ta og opinion pero pareho ra ta og gusto nga healthy and safe nga mga anak.
Different parents, different fears but same love.
Amping!
