Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've been experiencing some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. Could you please tell me if patients with diabetes insipidus can receive the H1N1 influenza vaccine?Doctor's answer:
There are several contraindications for vaccination. If you are currently experiencing a fever, anesthesia for the vaccine cannot be administered. For diabetes insipidus, it is a consumptive condition that can lead to dehydration. If this condition is not effectively treated with medication, anesthesia cannot be performed. However, if it is effectively treated and the condition is stable, the vaccine can be anesthetized. After anesthesia, careful observation is necessary.
