Every year on April 25 is the "National Child Vaccination Day", and the theme of 2022 is "Timely Vaccination to Protect Life and Health". Vaccines are no small matter, and only by vaccinating them on time and in sufficient doses can we form a strong protection for the health of children.
Not long ago, a parent and I talked about the topic of "timely vaccination", she said that the baby is 2 years old, vaccinated a lot of vaccines, but many times, because of their busy work, always did not follow the agreed date to vaccinate, failed to achieve "timely vaccination" for the baby, she felt very guilty.
There was also a parent, her baby was 3 months old, to the age of vaccination, the result of the baby just fell ill and hospitalized in those days, can not be vaccinated. Mom was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. These two mothers, I feel very deeply, they are very responsible mothers, should not let them have so much guilt and insecurity. Today, on National Child Vaccination Day, we will talk about what is "timely vaccination".
As we all know, babies start to be vaccinated after birth, and each vaccine has its starting age: for example, the first dose of BCG vaccine and hepatitis B vaccine should be given on the first day of birth, the first dose of the flow brain vaccine should be given at 6 months of age, and the first dose of Japanese encephalitis vaccine should be given at 8 months of age.
If you don't get vaccinated at the starting age, is it not called timely vaccination? In fact, in the "National Immunization Program Vaccine Children Immunization Procedures and Instructions" mentioned: when the age of children reaches the starting age of the corresponding vaccine, it should be vaccinated as soon as possible, it is recommended to complete the corresponding dose of the national immunization program vaccine before the following recommended age:
Hepatitis B vaccine dose 1: completed within 24 hours of birth.
BCG: < 3 months of age to complete.
Hepatitis B vaccine 3rd dose, polio vaccine 3rd dose, DTP vaccine 3rd dose, measles vaccine 1st dose, Japanese encephalitis live attenuated vaccine 1st dose or Japanese inactivated japanese encephalitis vaccine 2nd dose: completed < 12 months of age.
4. A group flow cerebral polysaccharide vaccine dose 2: < 18 months of age to complete.
The second dose of the measles vaccine, the first dose of the live attenuated hepatitis A vaccine or the hepatitis A inactivated vaccine, the fourth dose of the dtphoteric vaccine: completed at < 24 months of age.
Dose 2 of the live attenuated Japanese encephalitis vaccine or the 3rd dose of the INactivated Japanese encephalitis vaccine and the 2nd dose of the hepatitis A inactivated vaccine: completed < 3 years of age.
7. The first dose of A-group C-cerebral polysaccharide vaccine: < completed at the age of 4.
The 4th dose of polio vaccine: < completed by the age of 5.
Dtptony mildew vaccine, group A C cerebral polysaccharide vaccine 2nd dose, Japanese encephalitis inactivated vaccine 4th dose: completed < 7 years of age. Therefore, it is possible to complete vaccinations in accordance with the recommendations of the national immunization procedure.
If the doctor agrees that the next vaccination time is April 25, the baby will come to vaccinate on May 5, the 2-month-old baby will be vaccinated against polio, but the baby will be vaccinated against polio at 3 months old, these two situations are called postponing vaccination. If the cause of illness is the cause, it is also possible to postpone vaccination slightly, but not more than the recommended age of the national immunization program.
Babies over 6 months old, the level of antibodies obtained from the mother gradually declines or even disappears, and the baby's own immune system is not perfect, the ability to fight against external microorganisms is very limited, the baby's age reaches the starting age of the corresponding vaccine, it should be vaccinated as soon as possible.
