Newborn vaccination, hit the epidemic lockdown? Your confusion, experts to answer!

Q

A

&

Aunt Yao asked:

106 days after the baby was born, the vaccine has not been fully administered, is the previous vaccine invalid? Very anxious.

answer

Generally speaking, there are no special circumstances, the baby should be vaccinated according to the agreed time, but in the case of the epidemic delay, you can stabilize the epidemic or after the end of the vaccination can be revaccinated, the previous vaccination doses are effective. However, some imported vaccines have strict time limits, and if they are missed, there are domestic vaccines that can be replaced. Overall, it does not affect your child's vaccinations.

Ms. Zhang asked:

The baby is 4 months old, and when he was 3 months old, he made an appointment for DTP and polio component vaccine, and now that a month has passed, will it have an impact on the child?

answer

It is completely too late to re-inject, as long as the dose of the vaccine is fully administered, the immune protection obtained is exactly the same.

Aunt Chen asked:

The baby is 2 months old, and after birth, he should make an appointment on April 21. People in Pudong, hospital in Puxi. Can't fight.

answer

It is recommended that after the epidemic situation stabilizes, parents should take their children to the nearest community hospital near the place of residence to vaccinate their children, and remember to bring their children's vaccination books.

As a parent of your baby

Are you still struggling

Now this special period

Do you want to take your baby to get vaccinated?

If you don't go for the injection according to the previous appointment date

Will it affect the effectiveness of the vaccine?

1. Does the postponement of routine immunization have an impact on the baby's health?

For vaccines that adjust the schedule of vaccination services, a slight delay in vaccination will not affect the final effect of vaccination. We will pay close attention to the development of the epidemic, assess the risks and pros and cons in a timely manner, and arrange appointments for vaccination services.

2. During the postponement of vaccination, what measures should parents take to prevent the baby from getting sick?

During the postponement of vaccinations, practice good hygiene and health, wash your hands frequently, and try to avoid going to public places. It is necessary to take the initiative to do a good job in the health monitoring of the baby and family members, and take the initiative to measure the body temperature when the fever is conscious, if the family has symptoms of discomfort, try to contact as little as possible.

3. What should I do if I have already made an appointment for vaccination?

Please follow the notification of the new appointment at the vaccination clinic in the near future or take the initiative to make an appointment for the vaccination date at the outpatient clinic. If you have not received a notification or confirmed appointment, it is not recommended to go directly to the vaccination clinic. Vaccination clinics will prioritize vaccinations for immunization programmes. If you have symptoms such as fever and cough, please postpone vaccination even if you receive a vaccination notice.

4. Supplementary vaccination should be scientific

First of all, it needs to be clear that the appointment date = the earliest vaccination date ≠ the only recommended vaccination date. Therefore, even if you miss your previous appointment date, you may still fall within the recommended optimal age range for vaccination. Delaying vaccination does not reduce the body's response to the vaccine, but the body may not have enough immunity during the delay, which increases the risk of disease.

Everyone is arranged according to the vaccination clinic

Replanting is sufficient

When replanting, you also need to pay attention to the following points:

note

Keep an eye on the dynamics and notifications of vaccination clinics in advance

Check your vaccination certificate to see which vaccines were delayed or missed

Reservations are made by phone, online, etc

Reduce the number of accompanying personnel and maintain a certain distance from others

Bring your vaccination certificate and ID card

Proactively declare health status and epidemiological history

Do a good job of personal protection, wear a mask, and carry out hand hygiene in time after touching common items
