After birth, due to their young age and low immune system, babies are prone to symptoms such as colds and runny nose. And babies will also start getting vaccinated from a young age. The injection of vaccines can make the baby's body produce antibodies, thus having the ability to resist virus invasion. So, can babies with mild runny nose get vaccinated?
Mild runny nose in babies cannot be vaccinated because most of the vaccines are used to eliminate live viruses or bacteria. When babies have runny nose, their body's resistance will also decrease, making them more sensitive and fragile. The immune system's response to vaccines is relatively poor. At this time, getting vaccinated can easily cause some allergic reactions or other adverse reactions. Therefore, it is recommended not to get vaccinated even for mild runny nose.
If you get vaccinated at this time, it may worsen the symptoms of runny nose, so it is recommended to wait until the baby's physical condition recovers before getting vaccinated. In addition to a cold and runny nose, there are several other symptoms that babies cannot receive vaccinations for, such as fever, acute infectious diseases, severe allergic experiences, and local skin infections and allergies.
After the baby receives the vaccination, it is important not to take a shower immediately because the area where the vaccination is administered has not yet fully closed. When exposed to water, the water flow will enter the baby's body through the needle hole, which may cause local infections. Therefore, it is better to wait until the next day before taking a shower.
