Patient's question:
The baby was born on November 14th and has been 59 days old now. The third dose of the hepatitis B vaccine was postponed until today due to jaundice. I wanted to get it along with the grey matter vaccine, but the vaccination center said it's not possible anymore. If I get the hepatitis B vaccine now, the grey matter vaccine will have to be postponed until after the New Year. However, by the 14th of this month, I will be able to get both shots together. Why is that?Doctor's answer:
Based on the issue you mentioned, this is mainly due to the different categories of these two vaccines. Some of the vaccines may be live attenuated vaccines, while others may be inactivated vaccines, so it is best not to administer them simultaneously. The above is the suggestion for the question "If the baby is 59 days old and gets the hepatitis B vaccine now, will it need to be postponed to after the New Year?". I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
