What defines a "completely immunized child"?

A "completely immunized child" is defined by the completion of the primary immunizations schedule, which is crucial for establishing adequate immunity against various diseases.

When a child completes their primary immunizations beyond 1 year, it typically means that they have received all the essential vaccinations recommended for their age, ensuring they have developed the necessary immune response. This completion usually includes key vaccines such as the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine and others, ensuring comprehensive protection as the child grows and becomes more exposed to potential infectious diseases.

Choosing this option reflects an understanding that immunization is a stepwise process where initial doses are part of a broader schedule, leading to full immunization status recognized after the primary immunizations are complete. It emphasizes that immunizations are not only about starting vaccinations but also ensuring that the child has completed the required courses as per public health recommendations.
