Can children with a history of convulsions receive vaccinations?

Patient's question:

When it was time for the child to have roseola and develop a high fever, there was a seizure. It's best to come over. Afterward, when going for vaccination, the doctor asked about the situation and said vaccination was not possible. Many vaccines have not been administered now. Is it really true that children who have had seizures cannot receive vaccines?

Doctor's answer:

Not allowed to be vaccinated. Immunization is not suitable for all children. In the following cases, vaccination should be contraindicated or delayed.
1. Children with severe malnutrition, immune deficiencies, or undergoing immunosuppressive therapy (such as corticosteroids, radiation therapy, or antimetabolite chemotherapy) should not receive live vaccines.
2. Children with a history of exposure to acute infectious diseases or those in the recovery phase of acute infectious diseases should not be vaccinated.
3. Children with brain development disorders or a history of convulsions may experience severe neurological reactions during vaccination, so they should not be vaccinated.
4. Children with frequent allergic diseases such as urticaria or asthma should not be vaccinated, as it may lead to allergic reactions.
5. Infants and young children with colds, coughs, fever, or diarrhea (more than 4 bowel movements per day) should have their vaccinations delayed. They should be revaccinated one week after recovery.
