Patient's question:
7 My baby was born on March 5th with congenital dacryocystitis, so he didn't get the routine vaccinations. On November 3rd, he started receiving the first dose of the hepatitis B vaccine, the first dose of the polio vaccine (oral polio drops), and the first dose of the DTP vaccine. On December 3rd, he received the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine. On December 19th, he received the second dose of the hepatitis B vaccine and the second dose of the DTP vaccine. It is said that on January 2, 2012, he will receive the polio vaccine, Japanese encephalitis (attenuated), and meningococcal A+C (conjugate) vaccine, with a 15-day interval between each. Does getting vaccinated affect the baby's health? What should we do?Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, you should target your vaccination needs and avoid using vaccines blindly. I suggest you get the oral polio vaccine on January 2, 2012. As for Japanese encephalitis (attenuated) and meningococcal AC (combined), you can consider skipping them or deciding whether to get vaccinated. Too many vaccinations are not necessarily good. The above advice is in response to the question "Can two vaccinations be given in one month?" and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
