Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Do children have to get the hepatitis A vaccine?Doctor's answer:
The hepatitis A vaccine should be administered to children around one year of age. If the child was not vaccinated at birth, it is important to promptly catch up on the vaccination. If the child has already been vaccinated, since the effective immunity period of the hepatitis A vaccine is 5-10 years, the child can still be vaccinated now by waiting for 5 to 10 years and then getting the catch-up vaccination.Children have weaker immune systems, so they are more prone to pediatric general surgery conditions. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take their children to a professional hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and medication should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
