Hot-button issues of childhood vaccination

The experts will answer them one by one

Influenza vaccination is one of the most economical and effective prevention and control measures to prevent influenza and reduce the burden of influenza disease, mainly for the prevention of influenza A and B. Influenza vaccination can reduce the risk of influenza in children, reduce the severity of flu symptoms, and reduce the probability of serious complications. After vaccination, the body's immune system is stimulated to produce protective antibodies against the influenza vaccine, and when the human body is infected with the influenza virus, the protective antibodies will play a role against the influenza virus.

It is important to note that the protection period of the flu vaccine is generally not more than one year, and the virus strain of the flu is not necessarily the same every year, so it is best to get the flu vaccine every year.

Vaccination is not recommended in the acute phase of respiratory infections. Minor discomforts such as a cold or cough usually do not affect the effectiveness of vaccination, but vaccination may cause some adverse reactions or coincidental superposition, and it is recommended to consider vaccination after the child's respiratory infection is complete**.

You can get vaccinated 1 to 2 weeks after you have recovered from a respiratory infection. Vaccines that are postponed due to various reasons are generally vaccinated and revaccinated in accordance with the procedures in the "Immunization Program Vaccine Childhood Immunization Program" or the procedures in the instructions of various non-immunization program vaccines, and the standardized completion of supplementary vaccination generally does not affect the vaccination effect.

Fever after vaccination is usually only febrile and rarely accompanied by other respiratory symptoms such as cough, fatigue, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and sore throat. Post-vaccination fever usually appears within 1 to 2 days after vaccination, mostly at 375 below, only a few may cause 385. High fever of about 3 days, generally no more than 3 days.

Influenza fever usually appears 1 to 2 weeks after infection with the virus, usually lasts for a long time, and is usually accompanied by other symptoms such as chills, muscle aches, sore throat, etc., and generally lasts for about a week.
