What is Immunization?

Immunization is the process by which vaccines are administered to an individual in order to protect from infectious diseases and strengthen the immunity.

Immunization is an important step to control and eliminate life-threatening and vaccine-preventable infections like cervical cancer, diphtheria, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, pertussis (whooping cough), pneumonia, polio, rotavirus diarrhea, rubella, and tetanus. It is one of the most cost-effective health interventions and helps to protect people of all ages against diseases.

Some Important Vaccines and their schedules:

1. CHICKENPOX VACCINE (VARICELLA): Every individual should get 2 doses of this vaccine starting at the age of 1 year.

2. HIB (HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE TYPE B): 3 or 4 doses of HIB vaccine are required, starting at 2 months of age.

3. Hepatitis A Vaccine: Two doses of hepatitis A vaccine should be given to all children beginning at age 12 months separated at intervals of 6 months. Adults can also get this vaccine if they want to be protected or are at risk of developing the disease.

4. Hepatitis B Vaccine: Three doses of Hepatitis B vaccine are recommended to all children with the first dose to be given within 24 hrs. of birth. Adults can also get 2-3 doses of this vaccine.

5. Human papillomavirus (HPV): All individuals should get this vaccine, given over a period of 6 months, starting at around age 11–12 years. The HPV vaccine works more effectively if administered before becoming sexually active.

6. Influenza (flu) Vaccine: Annual dose of influenza vaccine is recommended to all people starting at the age of 6 months till lifetime.

7. Measles, Mumps, Rubella: One or two doses of the vaccines are needed against MMR.

8. Meningococcal Vaccine: This vaccine is the best prevention for meningitis. People of all ages should get this vaccine and its booster dose throughout life.

9. Pneumococcal: People who smoke need 1-2 doses of these vaccines.

10. Shingles (zoster) Vaccine: There are two types of shingles vaccines: Shingrix and Zostavax. People with age 50 years or more should get the 2-dose series of Shingrix vaccine even if they had received Zostavax.

11. Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis (whooping cough): All individuals should receive this vaccine. Even pregnant women need a dose in every pregnancy. Tetanus shots are also required in case you have a deep or dirty wound.

 World Immunization Week

World Health Organization (WHO) and its member countries observe the last week of April as “World Immunization Week”.

It is estimated that during 2017, about 116.2 million infants received 3 doses of diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP3) vaccine and during the same year 123 countries reached more than 90% coverage of the vaccine.

During the World Immunization Week, WHO aims to highlight the importance of vaccination and encourage people to get vaccinated to increase the coverage for vaccine-preventable diseases.

We @ Datt Mediproducts understand the importance of immunization and urge people to get vaccinated to prevent illness, disability, and death.

Wound during physical activity

Recovery doesn’t mean slowing down. Staying active while recovering from an injury or managing a wound doesn’t have to be an impossible task. With the right products and strategies, you can keep moving while ensuring that your recovery stays on track.

Whether you’re returning to your workout routine after surgery, dealing with an orthopedic injury, or healing a wound, we’ve got you covered.  Let’s dive into how you can integrate orthopedic and wound care products into your active lifestyle to keep you on the move and in the game.

The hidden risks of being active during recovery

Exercise helps circulation and mental health, but certain movements can disrupt healing. 
For wounds, bending, twisting, or sweating can weaken dressings and delay recovery.

EXAMPLE

Imagine a wound that’s healing well, but every time you move, the bandage loosens or moisture from sweat causes irritation. That can delay healing, reopen a wound, or even introduce bacteria. Similarly, orthopedic injuries like fractures or sprains require careful management to avoid strain that hinders healing.

The first rule of staying active during recovery?

Keep wounds protected during physical activity. The right products will shield your injury from friction, dirt, and moisture while allowing the skin to breathe. Opt for dressings that stay secure, comfortable, and irritation-free.

Our top products for Active Healing

When it comes to active recovery, we understand that you need products that work with you, not against you. That’s why we recommend products designed for ultimate support and flexibility.

  • Velpore™, Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive Tape:
    Hypoallergenic and breathable, it keeps dressings in place during physical activity without skin irritation.
  • Velfix® T+Pad, Waterproof Dressing:
    Ideal for post-surgical recovery, this waterproof dressing provides a bacterial barrier while you stay active.
  • Velfix® -T Film, Transparent Dressing:
    Clear, waterproof, and flexible, it offers protection while maintaining full range of motion.

When dealing with an orthopedic injury, immobilization is essential—but that doesn’t mean you have to sit on the sidelines.  Whether it’s a sprain, strain, or fracture, finding the right orthopedic product can help ensure that your recovery stays on track, even as you navigate through your day-to-day activities.

Hygiene: Clean up after movement

Excess sweat and dirt can compromise wound care. Velfix® -T+Pad helps manage moisture and ensures easy post-workout cleaning, preventing infection while maintaining healing.

While staying active is crucial, some exercises may be more beneficial than others during recovery. Low-impact activities like walking, swimming, or cycling can promote healing without overstraining your injury.

Recognize when to pause

Pay attention to swelling, redness, or increased pain after activity. If these occur, rest and assess—early intervention ensures faster recovery.

Holistic Healing: Rest & Nutrition

Healing requires proper rest and nutrition. A balanced diet, hydration, and enough sleep support tissue repair and overall recovery. Include vitamins, protein, and antioxidants to aid healing. Stay active and heal efficiently by using the right wound care and orthopedic products. With proper protection, hygiene, and mindful activity, your recovery journey can stay on track.
