When should get vaccinated?

Patient's question:

What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? When should babies with fistula get vaccinated?

Doctor's answer:

The vaccine itself is a weakened pathogen, and there are two issues if it is administered during an illness. First, the vaccine itself has some side effects, which can cause fever, fatigue, rashes, and more, potentially worsening the baby's condition and hindering recovery. Second, the body's immune system is weakened during illness, making it difficult to stimulate the production of sufficient antibodies, thus affecting the effectiveness of vaccination. Therefore, vaccination should not be administered during illness, and it is recommended to wait until recovery before vaccination.
