Patient's question:
20 days ago, a child who has not received the Japanese encephalitis vaccine was given the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine at the hospital yesterday. The doctor said to get the Japanese encephalitis vaccine on 3/27. I checked the vaccination schedule and it said it could be given together with the MMR vaccine. I'm not sure when to get it.Past treatment history and effectiveness: None
Expected help: Could you please tell me when to get the Japanese encephalitis vaccine? Will it be harmful to delay it? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Your child's condition has the issue of consulting for vaccination. Generally speaking, for the second dose of Japanese encephalitis vaccine, it is acceptable to vaccinate after 8 months. For the third dose, vaccination is typically administered at 18 months. In your child's case, I recommend first paying attention to rest, and a light, warm, and easily digestible diet is very important. It is recommended that your child can be vaccinated after 8 months, and there is no major issue. Wishing your child good health.
