Can babies get vaccinations while taking medicine?

It is not recommended to get vaccinations while taking medicine

It is generally recommended to be vaccinated 1 to 2 weeks after recovery. It is recommended to inform the doctor of recent physical condition and medical history before vaccination, and cooperate with the doctor for safe vaccination.

If your baby has a cough, it is likely a respiratory tract infection. During this period, the baby's immunity will decrease, so it is best to stop vaccination during the coughing period. It is safer to wait until the cough is completely recovered for 2 weeks before vaccinating again.

As long as the baby does not have severe eczema, does not have a cold, fever, or cough, has not taken any medicine in the last three days, and is in good health, the vaccination can be given.

How to give baby vaccinations

What should you pay attention to when giving your baby vaccinations?

First of all, the child must be in good health. You cannot get a vaccination when he/she has a cold. You should take the initiative to tell the doctor about the child's condition, including what injections he/she has received, what medicines he/she is allergic to, and what diseases he/she has had. These are very important because some irresponsible doctors will not take the initiative to ask. It is best to create a medication record for the child, similar to a medical record, which is kept from childhood to adulthood. It is very useful. Also, do not be afraid of trouble and go to a regular hospital. Do not leave immediately after the injection. Wash your hands in time after returning home and do not take a bath to avoid touching the needle hole.
