Patient's question:
Doctor, I previously gave my son the meningitis vaccine, and it's been less than a month. However, the flu has been particularly severe recently, and I'm worried my child might get the flu. So, I want to give him the flu vaccine. Hello doctor, can I get the flu vaccine less than a month after getting the meningitis vaccine?Doctor's answer:
If the time since the child's last vaccination is less than a month, it is not recommended to vaccinate again in this situation. Generally, it is necessary to wait at least one month before doing so. After all, vaccines themselves are non-toxic or made from weakened bacteria or viruses, and they do have certain side effects. During this period, pay attention to keeping the child warm, minimize going outdoors, and encourage them to drink more water to prevent catching a cold.
