Patient's question:
He turned 18 this April. He often has a stuffy nose because he naps in the evening. So, the other night, his mom gave him 999 Fever Reducing Medicine. Yesterday, he got the influenza vaccine at school. Since he had no symptoms during the day, the nurse asked the teacher, and the teacher said he didn't have a fever, so he got the shot...Doctor's answer:
When getting vaccinated with the influenza vaccine, what precautions should be taken to minimize the "risk" factor? Wu Jing, director of the Disease Prevention Institute at the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention, recommends observing the vaccinated area for 30 minutes after vaccination before leaving. If mild reactions reappear, they generally do not require special treatment, and you can consult the vaccination unit by phone. Antiviral medications should generally not be taken within two weeks. The vaccinated person should keep the vaccination site dry and clean for 24 hours, avoid immediate foot baths, and get plenty of rest. If redness or swelling reappears at the vaccination site, apply cold compresses to the area. If pain or a lump recurs, apply cold compresses to the vaccination site. If severe adverse reaction symptoms reappear, seek medical attention immediately.French pediatricians suggest that children who have received the inactivated influenza vaccine should wait three weeks before receiving the seasonal influenza vaccine, which also facilitates monitoring data on the first influenza vaccination. However, not all high-risk groups are eligible for the influenza vaccine. The Chinese Ministry of Health announced that there are currently four categories of people who are strictly prohibited from receiving the vaccine. First, children under three years old cannot be vaccinated because there is no data on the safety and efficacy of the influenza vaccine for this age group. Third, people with fever, high fever, or allergies to seasonal influenza vaccines cannot be vaccinated. Those with allergies to ordinary seasonal influenza vaccines, a history of egg allergies, a history of vaccine allergies, or other severe allergies are strictly prohibited from receiving the influenza vaccine. Those with other allergy histories should carefully consider how to be vaccinated under the guidance of a clinical diagnosis doctor. Second, people with acute diseases or severe chronic diseases cannot be vaccinated. For example, patients with nephrotic syndrome in an acute relapse or severe condition should be strictly prohibited from vaccination. Patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome, uncontrolled epilepsy, or other progressive neurological diseases are also strictly prohibited from vaccination. For breastfeeding women, they should weigh the pros and cons before deciding how to be vaccinated.
