Each baby needs to receive targeted preventive injections at different stages, which is also an important measure to better prevent babies from contracting infectious and contagious diseases. But administering this type of vaccine to a baby requires being in good health. So, if the baby has a little runny nose, can they get vaccinated?
Babies have symptoms of runny nose, mostly related to catching a cold. This symptom also indicates an unhealthy condition in the body, and catching a cold is highly likely to cause low-grade fever, and the baby's body's resistance and immunity may be reduced during the cold.
At this time, vaccination can easily lead to vaccine reactions. For example, there may be severe local redness and swelling, accompanied by adverse reactions such as fever. In more severe cases, it may also cause persistent high fever. Therefore, it is not recommended to get vaccinated when the baby has a runny nose.
In addition, when the baby's physical condition allows for vaccination, it is also important to observe for any adverse reactions within half an hour after vaccination, and only return home after confirming that there are no abnormalities. Take good care of the local skin after vaccination and injection, and do not take a shower with water within a day.
If a baby develops a low-grade fever in the later stage, it is usually a normal reaction after vaccination. However, if a high fever or other abnormal discomfort occurs, high vigilance and timely medical attention should be sought.
