Can patients with congenital heart disease and atrial septal defect get vaccinated?

Patient's question:

Now the baby has been found to have congenital heart disease, and it is best to decide on surgery for treatment. The surgery should be performed when the baby is three years old. This disease is not very serious, and the success rate of the surgery is quite high. There is no need to worry too much. Currently, it is possible to get vaccinated, and vaccination has no impact on her congenital heart disease. Besides vaccination, no other treatment plan is needed.

Doctor's answer:

Children with congenital heart disease can receive vaccines if they do not have a history of drug allergies. If they are allergic to vaccines, they cannot be vaccinated. For atrial septal defects, medication is ineffective. Surgical repair can be considered when the child grows up and can tolerate the defect. It is important to pay attention to preventing colds and avoid getting colds as much as possible. Children with congenital heart disease have weakened immunity and are prone to catching colds easily.
