In order to increase immunity and prevent infectious diseases, parents take their children to receive various vaccinations in a timely manner. However, it should be noted that there are some cases in which vaccination is not advisable, otherwise serious reactions may occur.
Generally speaking, when a child has a fever and the body temperature exceeds 37.5°C, the vaccine should not be administered and should wait until the condition is cured. For one thing, the vaccination will cause a reaction of elevated body temperature and aggravate the fever; for another, the antigenic components in the vaccine and the disease-causing bacteria can interfere with each other and affect the generation of immunity.
Children who are suffering from acute infectious diseases or recovering from them in less than 2 weeks should delay vaccination. Children with severe heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease, or tuberculosis should also not be vaccinated; because children with these diseases are often in poor health and cannot withstand mild reactions to vaccination. In addition, vaccination affects the recovery of diseased organs; children with neurological diseases, such as epilepsy, incomplete brain development and poor blood-brain barrier, are not suitable for vaccination; children with severe malnutrition, severe rickets, and congenital immunodeficiency are also not suitable for vaccination.
In addition, children with allergies, wheezing, urticaria, and allergies to vaccination should not be vaccinated, and children with severe dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, or purulent skin disease at the site to be vaccinated should be cured before vaccination.
Children who are not suitable for vaccination but must be vaccinated, such as those who have been bitten by rabid dogs and must receive rabies vaccination, should be vaccinated only under the guidance and close observation of a doctor.
