Patient's question:
My child has had epilepsy since birth, and there is no known cure for it. Now that the child has reached the stage where vaccinations are required, we can't avoid them. Can children with epilepsy still receive vaccinations?What kind of help is needed: Can children with epilepsy still receive vaccinations?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child at home suffers from epilepsy and has reservations about the planned automatic immunization. However, not vaccinating carries significant risks if the child contracts related infectious diseases. From the perspective of "choosing the lesser of two evils," it is still recommended that they receive the vaccination. Some experts suggest this. It is advised that you visit the internal medicine department of a Class III-A hospital and consult with experts for relevant examinations. They can then develop a personalized treatment plan, and after the epilepsy is under control, vaccination can be considered accordingly. The above advice addresses the question "Can a child with epilepsy still get vaccinated?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
