Patient's question:
The baby should have received the ACWY meningococcal vaccine at 18 months, but due to a mistake in a crowded setting, the one-year-old and seven-month-old baby was accidentally given the ACWY meningococcal vaccine. What potential sequelae might this have? How should the baby receive the ACWY meningococcal vaccine at three years old?Doctor's answer:
The AC vaccine should have been given to the child at three years old, but it was mistakenly administered to a baby who was seven months and one year old. After receiving the AC vaccine, it is common to experience a fever, which usually subsides within two days. A one-year-old child who has mistakenly received the AC vaccine should not experience any sequelae, but it is important to avoid re-vaccination within three years. It is essential to consult the doctor who administered the vaccine at that time. The above is advice on this issue, and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
