Patient's question:
When the baby was a month old, due to jaundice, the second vaccination was not given in time. Recently, I went to the community hospital and was told that since the baby is over 42 days old, the two shots need to be given together at two months. They said it's not safe to give the vaccine now. I want to ask if there is such a problem.Doctor's answer:
Hello, two months is also okay. The injection of vaccines for babies is actually a process of self-infection. Because vaccines are pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and their metabolites, which have been artificially weakened and inactivated, the pathogens entering the human body do not cause infection in babies. On the contrary, the entry of these pathogens attacks the baby's immune system, forcing it to produce antibodies. In this way, the baby gains resistance to these infectious diseases.
