Patient's question:
My child developed neonatal pneumonia at birth and was hospitalized for treatment, but has now fully recovered. I am planning to get her the pneumonia 13-valent vaccine. How can I get it done? What is the likelihood of still getting pneumonia after getting the vaccine? I'm not sure. Some people say that if you get the vaccine, you might still experience symptoms of pneumonia? She is currently a 1-month-old infant.Doctor's answer:
According to your statement, anesthesia vaccines are not guaranteed to provide automatic immunity 100% of the time; there are still individual differences. Parents need to comprehensively evaluate and consider the child's current physical condition and financial situation. Generally, it is recommended that before vaccination within one week, the child should not have any discomfort symptoms such as colds, fever, cough, etc., and should not have a history of taking antibiotic medications to avoid any adverse consequences after anesthesia vaccination. Some babies may experience side effects after vaccination, one of which is fever, which is usually moderate to low-grade and can improve within 1-2 days. Pay attention to drinking more water. If persistent high fever or other accompanying symptoms occur, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
