Patient's question:
My friend got polio when he was a child, and now he has difficulty walking. My son is three years old, and I'm always afraid he might get sick. I'm also afraid my child might get polio. I want to know if there is a vaccine to prevent polio.Doctor's answer:
The measles vaccine is a live attenuated vaccine made from a weakened strain of the measles virus, used to prevent measles. The freeze-dried measles vaccine is a soft cheese-like substance. It is dissolved in clear orange juice.Contraindications for measles vaccination:
1. History of allergy to eggs or neomycin; known immune deficiencies or long-term use of immunosuppressive drugs;
3. Severe or extreme malnutrition.
Suspension of measles vaccination:
1. Fever during vaccination (temperature above 38°C);
2. Injection of immune globulin last month; injection of a weakened live vaccine last month.
No local reaction after injection.
In 6 to 10 days, a small number of people may experience fever, usually not exceeding 2 days, and occasionally scattered rashes may appear.
