Can patients with chronic hepatitis receive the influenza vaccine?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. I am 34 years old this year. I recently had a thorough medical examination at the hospital and was found to have chronic hepatitis. However, I am going to get vaccinated with the flu vaccine soon, and I am worried that it may interfere with my condition. Can patients with chronic hepatitis be vaccinated with the flu vaccine?

Doctor's answer:

The influenza A vaccine is very common and relatively prevalent in clinical diagnosis, so there is no need to be anxious. Pay attention to personal hygiene, eat less greasy, spicy, and extremely cold foods. Chronic hepatitis patients can receive this vaccine, but there is a point to note: do not administer the vaccine during acute recurrence. This is a process that needs to be understood. Try to avoid overworking and taking on extra shifts. During the vaccination period, pay attention to personal care to prevent colds and enhance nutrition.
