Patient's question:
[Condition Description: Originally, the hospital required us to get the hepatitis A vaccine on 8/2, but we didn't go because of a fever. Now that we're better and it's been almost two weeks, can we get the hepatitis A vaccine now? Can we get vaccinated during the recent high temperatures? Medical history and effectiveness of treatment: There was no previous treatment history. Desired help: Can we get the hepatitis A vaccine during high temperatures?]Doctor's answer:
Hello, high temperatures do not affect childhood vaccination prevention. If the child is not feeling well, vaccination should be postponed temporarily. Currently, you can get vaccinated as long as you don't have a fever and no symptoms of infection. It is already autumn now, and high temperatures will not last long. You can also wait a few days for the temperature to drop before vaccination. It is recommended that you take your child for the hepatitis A vaccination as soon as possible. Some children may have a fever after vaccination. If the temperature is not extremely high, just drink more water.
