Babies with a few occasional coughs can usually get the vaccination if they are not accompanied by other abnormal symptoms. If symptoms such as sore throat, fever and runny nose occur, the vaccination should be postponed. Vaccination can protect infants and children from some diseases. If the cough is only occasional and there are no other abnormal symptoms, it may be caused by dryness indoors or an over-eager diet. Drinking water appropriately, eating reasonably and keeping the room at a suitable temperature can improve the coughing symptoms and the vaccination can be given at this time. If your baby has a cough with symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, coughing and phlegm, he or she may have a cold and should not receive the vaccination. It is best to wait 1-2 weeks after the disease has fully recovered before receiving the vaccination. If parents are not sure if they can give their baby the vaccination, they can consult a doctor at the hospital to clarify their baby’s physical condition and determine if they can receive the vaccination.
