Patient's question:
My child was born in August 2008 and was diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot, a congenital heart defect, shortly after birth. In April 2009, he underwent surgery at People's Hospital. Post-surgery, he recovered well, and our local health station also advised against getting vaccinated. I would like to ask the doctor if my child can receive the vaccine.Doctor's answer:
According to your specific situation, you can get vaccinated, but it is recommended to wait one year after the surgery to get vaccinated. According to your specific situation, you can get vaccinated, but it is recommended to wait one year after the surgery to get vaccinated. Because the child's immunity is very low right after surgery. If this is a post-anesthesia vaccine, it may cause harm to the child and lead to vaccine reactions. The above is the advice on the question "Can a child get vaccinated after heart surgery?" Hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
