Different Vaccines Administered to Babies

In this paragraph, you will find information regarding the different vaccinations that are given to new-born babies. We all have received them at one time or the other in our lifetime. So, 24 hours after the baby is born, 3 vaccines are given: BCG, polio, and hepatitis B. There are 4 methods of giving vaccines – intradermally, subcutaneously, intramuscularly, and orally. The BCG vaccine is given intradermally, near the shoulder in the upper arm, at an angle of about 10 to 15 from the skin (and this is done only once); some swelling is seen; and, if any drug or vaccine is given intradermally, a more vigorous immune response is elicited.

The Polio vaccine is given orally (each time, 2 drops are given), and this is given to the new-born baby about 4 to 5 times. The Hepatitis B vaccine is given intramuscularly, in the thigh, at an angle of 90 from the skin; no swelling is seen

And, drugs are given intravenously, at an angle of 25 from the skin. Any fluid administered intravenously into the body in large quantities can endanger a person's life.

What I will now state is a piece of very basic information about a doctor, and this applies to those who are looking to pursue medicine in the future; a daily routine of a doctor involves visiting ICU, going for rounds to wards, OPDs, and finishing paperwork (and by this I mean a ton of paperwork). The paperwork involves registrations of admitted patients into their systems (hospitals' systems), summaries of the patients (involves details about their medical history and illnesses), and also registrations of patients that are going to be discharged.
