Myth-Busting: Is a Child’s Immune System Too Weak to Fight Infections?

Myth: A child’s immune system is weak and cannot fight off infections effectively.

FACT: A child’s immune system is still developing but is far from “weak.” It actively learns to combat infections through exposure to pathogens, proper nutrition, and timely vaccinations. Vaccines strengthen their defense system by teaching their bodies to recognize and fight harmful germs. While children are more prone to illnesses due to this learning phase, their immune response is highly adaptive. Parents can support immunity by ensuring a balanced diet, enough sleep, and regular check-ups. Let’s empower children’s health with facts, not fears!
