◆ Immunizations for children and infant health checkups
For healthy growth of children, immunizations and infant health checkups should be received at the most necessary timing.
In particular, if you delay immunizations for your baby, the risk of developing serious infections is increased due to the delay in developing immunity. Immunizations and infant health checkups should be received on schedule without delay. 

(1)The timing of immunizations is determined based on factors such as ages at which children are most susceptible to infectious diseases.
(2)In particular, it is very important to start receiving immunizations at the age of two months to protect babies from infections to which they are susceptible (e.g., pertussis, bacterial meningitis, etc.) when the immunity they receive from their mothers is decreasing.
(3)Infant health checkups are important opportunities to regularly check health conditions of children and get a consultation. Please make sure to receive infant health checkups at the appropriate timing. If you have any questions about childcare, do not hesitate to consult a doctor, public health nurse, or midwife.

*The implementation method of infant health checkups may be changed depending on the situations of the COVID-19 pandemic, etc. Please check with the maternal and child health service desk of your municipality.
*If you have any questions, please consult with your family doctor, municipality office, or Wakayama International Exchange Center.
