Precautions for polio vaccine at four years old

Babies need to be given different vaccines at different ages, which are all very important. First of all, if the baby has a fever or is abnormally weak after the polio vaccine is injected, you must be careful that there may be some complications. In addition, you must choose the appropriate method according to the actual situation, conduct regular check-ups, and observe carefully for about 1 to 2 days to ensure that the patient's body has no other reactions. You can rest assured that there is no guarantee that everyone will not have side effects after the vaccine is injected.

Polio Vaccine Precautions

If you have fever, abnormally weak constitution, severe rickets, active tuberculosis or other serious illnesses, or have diarrhea 4 times a day within 1 week, you should temporarily suspend taking the medicine. HIV infection, dysgammaglobulinemia, lymphoma, leukemia, extensive malignant lesions and other immunodeficiencies (such as taking corticosteroids, anticancer drugs, immunosuppressive drugs or receiving radiation, etc.) are contraindicated.

1. It is best to stop sucking breast milk within half an hour after taking the vaccine (milk or other milk substitutes can be used), otherwise the antibodies in the breast milk will neutralize (kill) the vaccine and affect its effectiveness.

2. If vomiting occurs while taking the medicine, you should take it again.

3. There are generally no adverse reactions after taking the medicine, only a few mild gastrointestinal symptoms.

4. People with high fever, impaired immunity, or those who are taking corticosteroids or anti-cancer drugs should not take the myelitis vaccine.

5. For those with contraindications, 0.3 ml/kg body weight of immunoglobulin can be injected once a day for 2-3 consecutive days.

6. Once the disease occurs, you should go to the hospital for isolation and treatment in time, report to the health and epidemic prevention station, disinfect the epidemic site, and place close contacts under medical observation for 20 days. Those who have not taken the vaccine or have taken incomplete vaccines should take them immediately.
