Many severe children infectious diseases have been eradicated through the years by the act of vaccination. For example, polio was eradicated and more recently, vaccines are protecting our children from measles, rubella, whooping cough and dysenteric diseases. All the different vaccines are made from different molecules and have a different lifetime, storage criteria and need to be administered at specific times to ensure their full protection.
