Patient's question:
The baby is one year old, and it's time to get vaccinated soon. In the past few days, it has been running a nose, with phlegm in the throat, and mild coughing. The medicine hasn't shown any improvement, so can the vaccination be administered under these circumstances?Doctor's answer:
At one year old, babies are usually vaccinated with the HIB vaccine and the chickenpox vaccine. However, vaccination should only be administered when the child is in good health. Based on your description of the symptoms, it is likely that your baby is experiencing cold symptoms and should recover before receiving the vaccination to avoid any adverse reactions. The above advice is for the question "Under what circumstances should a baby not receive vaccinations?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
