Can people with diabetes insipidus receive the influenza A vaccine?

Patient's question:

Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've been experiencing some swelling in my body. I feel weak all over. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. I was wondering if I can get the type A vaccine if I have diabetes insipidus.

Doctor's answer:

For those who need further consultation with a doctor, it is generally believed that patients with diabetes insipidus and uremia have very serious kidney function problems. If they receive vaccinations, not only will they not be able to prevent the flu, but it will also be harmful to them.
The H1N1 influenza vaccine is not suitable for individuals in the acute phase of chronic diseases. If you receive the H1N1 influenza vaccine, avoid strenuous exercise and drink plenty of water.
