Can children with allergic purpura receive the influenza A vaccine?

Patient's question:

The child will soon need to get the influenza A vaccine, but he already suffers from allergic purpura. So, you ask, can children with allergic purpura receive the influenza A vaccine? If not, what kind of vaccine should they receive? After all, vaccination is a very important matter for children, so one wants to be cautious.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! For immune diseases such as allergic purpura and nephrotic syndrome, it is not recommended to get vaccinated when the disease is unstable. Clinically, there are many cases where anesthetic vaccines have led to allergic purpura or exacerbation. Therefore, it is best not to get vaccinated when the disease is unstable or the control period is short. Moreover, no one knows how effective the influenza vaccine is now. It is better to take children to public places or crowded areas as little as possible.
