Preventive injections are essential during a baby's growth process. In general, there is a prescribed age for receiving preventive injections. But when the baby grows up to the appropriate time for vaccination, it will be found that the baby has symptoms of illness such as colds. After the baby recovers from illness, parents want to take the baby to get vaccinated as soon as possible. So, how long can a baby get vaccinated after recovering from illness?
Generally, babies need to wait for 3 to 7 days to recover from a cold. Just because you have recovered from a cold does not mean that there is no virus in your body. If you immediately go to the hospital to get vaccinated, there will inevitably be latent viruses that can lead to more serious illnesses. So after recovering from a cold, you should observe for a few days to ensure that your body is completely recovered and free of viruses, and then take your baby to get vaccinated.
Not only should this be done after the baby has a cold, but if the baby has a high fever, they should also wait for a few days until the fever subsides and observe for a few days. Only when it is found that the baby no longer has a fever can vaccination be administered. Before injection, the nurse will also measure the baby's temperature, etc. If the baby's body temperature is too high, the nurse will refuse to administer the vaccine to the baby.
There are many conditions for babies to receive a large preventive vaccine. When the baby's physical condition is not suitable for injection, remember not to force injection, as it will only harm the baby's health. After getting vaccinated, it is important to give your baby plenty of water to drink. Don't let your child catch a cold. It's best not to take a shower on the day of the injection. You can use warm water to wipe your body appropriately.
