Baby live vaccine — if you're wondering whether your baby received a live vaccine or what it is, let me give you general information. Live vaccines contain weakened live virus or bacteria; they stimulate the immune system to provide strong and long-lasting protection. In Turkey, the live vaccines given to babies according to the Ministry of Health schedule are:
- MMR (Measles-Mumps-Rubella): At 12 months.
- Chickenpox: At 12 months (at the same time or close to MMR).
- Oral polio (OPV — oral polio vaccine): Routinely at 6 and 18 months; in some periods it was used, but currently the schedule generally uses inactivated (IPV).
- BCG (Tuberculosis): At 2 months — a live bacterial vaccine.
Live vaccines are not used in babies with suppressed immunity (such as during chemotherapy, organ transplant, severe congenital immunodeficiency), and generally cause mild fever or rash. For your baby's specific schedule or special circumstances, the most accurate information comes from your pediatrician.
