Best Answer

Children are given vaccinations to develop antibodies against various diseases so that they are less likely to become seriously ill. Many diseases have been eradicated (stopped) through the decades of vaccinations of babies and young children. However, when parents didn't have their babies and toddlers vaccinated, many of these awful and deadly diseases have begun to re-appear.

Otherwise healthy adults, teens and children over 10 only need a single vaccination for the flu to be fully protected. After about 2 weeks from the time of the vaccination you will be protected. Younger children need a series of two flu vaccinations, usually given a month apart. After around another 2 weeks from the time of the second vaccination, they are protected. Babies under 6 months old do not have immune systems mature enough to get vaccinated for the flu.

How do vaccinations work Why should children and adults be given vaccination?

Vaccinations work by strengthening one's immune system. Professional doctors, with a certificate, insert some of the virus or bacteria so your immune system can get immune to fight it off. Children, in my opinion, must get a vaccination so they don't die really young. Elders and adults, that is up to them.
