Can babies with eczema be vaccinated? Is it necessary for babies to get imported vaccines?

After the baby is born, in order to enhance its own resistance and prevent infectious diseases, it is usually necessary to vaccinate various vaccines at different times. How much do you know about the precautions for baby vaccination?

Babies with eczema can be vaccinated, but they need to pay attention to these. Many mothers are worried about whether eczema will affect their baby's vaccination. In this regard, Associate Professor Ouyang Ying said that children with eczema can be vaccinated and the symptoms of eczema will not be aggravated after vaccination. Therefore, the World Health Organization regards skin diseases, eczema or local skin infections as false contraindications to vaccination. In other words, babies with eczema can still be vaccinated.

How to choose between domestic and imported vaccines? Some vaccines are only imported, such as the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine; while some vaccines are only domestic, such as the hand, foot and mouth vaccine. In this case, you can only choose whichever is available. If there are both domestic and imported vaccines, you can choose according to your own financial situation and the degree of adverse reactions after vaccination. For example, the domestic polio vaccine is an oral attenuated live vaccine, which may cause the vaccine recipient to have polio symptoms. This is the same all over the world, but the imported injectable polio vaccine is an inactivated vaccine, which does not have this risk, so it is more recommended that mothers choose to vaccinate their babies with imported injectable polio vaccines.

The main difference between domestic vaccines and imported vaccines is their different production processes: Most domestic vaccines are live attenuated vaccines, which means that the virus in the vaccine is not completely killed. When injected into the body, it can stimulate the immune system more strongly. The adverse reactions are relatively large, but the effect is better. Generally, only one injection is needed to achieve the purpose of protection; while most imported vaccines are inactivated vaccines, and all the viruses in them are killed. They have good stability and weak adverse reactions, but the effect is also poor. Two or more injections are required to strengthen epidemic prevention. Their prices are also very different. The price of domestic vaccines is relatively affordable and cost-effective; the price of imported vaccines is much more expensive than that of domestic vaccines, even several times. In short, although domestic vaccines are not more stable than imported vaccines, they are effective and cost-effective, and are not worse than imported vaccines.

There is no obvious difference in quality standards, safety and use between domestic and imported vaccines of the same type. First, there are some vaccines that are only imported but not domestic, or only domestic but not imported, which can be exchanged. Second, there are some vaccines that have different production processes between domestic and imported ones, such as hepatitis A vaccine. The imported ones only have the inactivated process, while the domestic ones also have live attenuated vaccines. Third, for imported vaccines, combined vaccine dosage forms are richer, such as pentavalent vaccines. For vaccination, it is generally recommended to use vaccines from the same company, variety and specification to complete the entire vaccination. If for various reasons, the subsequent vaccination cannot obtain vaccines from the same company, variety and specification, vaccines from different companies, the same variety and different specifications can also be used to complete the subsequent vaccination.
