Can an anaemic baby be vaccinated?

Anemia, in fact, is not a disease, to be precise, anemia is a group of syndromes with signs and symptoms, that is, the amount of hemoglobin, the number of red blood cells, or the specific volume of red blood cells in a unit volume of blood is lower than normal.

Red blood cells and hemoglobin are the oxygen transporters in our body, and any lack of any one will cause ischemia, and ischemia is equivalent to tissue hypoxia. Weakness, dizziness, headache, tinnitus, flashing black spots in front of the eyes, and easy fatigue after anemia are all compensatory manifestations of tissue hypoxia.

If anemia occurs in infants and young children, we can call it pediatric anemia. Pediatric anemia is a common disease in childhood, so can babies with anemia be vaccinated normally?
