Patient's question:
Cold and asthma do not necessarily lead to tuberculosis. Do not be overly suspicious. Can a seven-year-old child still receive the tuberculosis vaccine?Doctor's answer:
Children should complete the routine five-shot vaccination within one week, which includes receiving the first dose of the hepatitis B vaccine and the BCG vaccine as soon as possible after birth, the second dose of the hepatitis B vaccine after one month, and one dose of the polio oral drops each month from two to four months. One dose of the DTP vaccine should be administered each month from three to five months. The third dose of the hepatitis B vaccine should be given at six months, the measles vaccine at eight months, and a booster dose of the measles vaccine between one and two weeks. A booster dose of the polio oral drops, DTP, encephalitis, and meningitis vaccines should be given every four weeks. At seven weeks, the measles and DTP vaccines should be administered, completing the basic immunization.
