Patient's question:
Can children with allergic purpura receive the DTP vaccine? The child has been in this condition for some time, and I am hesitant to give them medication. Please provide some advice from a doctor.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, it is best not to get vaccinated. For children with a history of epilepsy and convulsions, getting vaccinated, especially with encephalitis B or DTP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis) combined vaccine, can easily cause children to faint, have seizures, or experience shock. Children with severe rickets should not be given the oral polio vaccine.Children with asthma, eczema, hives, or allergic constitutions are prone to allergic reactions after vaccination, especially when receiving live measles vaccine or other vaccines with stronger allergens like DTP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis) combined vaccine, which are more likely to cause allergic reactions.
