Patient's question:
I made an appointment for the hepatitis B vaccine, but I've recently had a cold. Can I still get vaccinated? Will there be any side effects or interference? I'd like to ask if I can get the hepatitis B vaccine now.Doctor's answer:
During the cold season, without anesthesia, vaccines can prevent individual reactions to vaccines and alleviate cold symptoms. Cold symptoms usually do not include fever, fatigue, muscle aches, etc. Using medication during the cold season may also interfere with the effectiveness of the vaccine. Because vaccines themselves are antibodies that cause viruses to develop in the body, many people recommend using the hepatitis B vaccine to treat the flu, as according to their individual constitutions, they may experience fever, rash, or symptoms similar to a cold.
