The contents of baby vaccines vary depending on the vaccine type. Generally, vaccines contain three basic components:
1. Antigen (active ingredient): The weakened or killed virus/bacteria or a part of it that triggers the immune system. Your body recognizes this and produces protective antibodies.
2. Adjuvants: Components like aluminum salts that strengthen immune response. They've been used safely for decades.
3. Preservatives and stabilizers: Keep the vaccine from breaking down. They're present in very small amounts; for example, some vaccines contain trace amounts of formaldehyde or antibiotics (like neomycin) — all far below safe limits.
Some vaccine production processes may use egg protein; in babies with egg allergy, this usually isn't a problem, but always tell your pediatrician beforehand.
All vaccines on Turkey's Ministry of Health schedule pass rigorous safety testing. If you have specific concerns about vaccine contents, your baby's pediatrician or the family health center doctor can share that vaccine's information sheet with you and explain each component.
