Patient's question:
No symptoms, no history of treatment and its effectiveness: None, I just want to ask if there are any dangers with the seasonal flu vaccine. What kind of help do you care for: Tell me if there are any dangers.Doctor's answer:
Currently, there are three types of influenza vaccines in use in our country: inactivated whole-virus vaccines, split vaccines, and subunit vaccines, with both domestic and imported products available. Each vaccine contains three types of inactivated influenza viruses or antigen components: influenza A1 subtype, influenza A3 subtype, and influenza B. The immunogenicity and side effects of these three vaccines are quite similar. However, it should be noted that inactivated whole-virus vaccines have more significant side effects on children, and children under 12 are strictly prohibited from receiving this type of vaccine.Medical advice: The following conditions should not receive vaccination:
(1) Contraindications explicitly listed in the vaccine manufacturer's instructions;
(2) Individuals with egg allergies or severe allergic should not be vaccinated;
(3) Those with acute clinical symptoms, such as fever or acute infections, should not be vaccinated;
(4) Patients with advanced cancer, heart and lung failure, pregnant or lactating women, etc., should use caution;
(5) Individuals who have previously had Guillain-Barré syndrome should not be vaccinated;
(6) In addition to the above conditions, those with poor health or unclear contraindications should use caution or consult a doctor before vaccination.
If you do not have any of the above conditions, the risk of vaccination is still very low. However, no one can guarantee 100% safety. The above advice is for the question "Is there a risk in getting the flu vaccine?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
