Precautions for newborn vaccination

Newborn vaccination can help children prevent diseases, reduce injuries and stay healthy, and is considered the most cost-effective way to prevent diseases. Now the relevant national laws also stipulate that after a child is born, vaccination must be carried out in accordance with relevant regulations and procedures. So, what precautions should be taken before and after vaccination of newborns? Under what circumstances should newborns not be vaccinated?

Things to note before and after vaccination

1. Explain your baby's health condition to the doctor. If the baby is premature or malnourished, it is best not to vaccinate him/her first. Consult with the doctor and set a time for the injection.

2. Don’t rush home after vaccinating your baby. Rest at the vaccination site for about 30 minutes. If your baby has a high fever or other adverse reactions, seek medical treatment in time.

3. As soon as the baby is born, the doctor will give you a booklet, which will detail the vaccines the baby should receive and the injection time. Parents must strictly follow the prescribed immunization procedures and time, and do not give up halfway. If you miss the scheduled injection time due to carelessness, you must explain the situation to the doctor and arrange another time for the injection.

4. After vaccination, ensure that the vaccination site is clean to prevent local infection.

5. After the baby is vaccinated, parents should carefully observe the baby's reaction and not let him do strenuous exercise. If the baby has a slight fever or loss of appetite, this is normal and will generally disappear automatically in one to two days. But if the reaction is strong and lasts for a long time, you should take your baby to the hospital immediately to see a doctor.

Under what circumstances can babies not be vaccinated

1. Babies suffering from various diseases should not be vaccinated. For example, some vaccines cannot be injected in cases of cold, diarrhea, fever, hunger, vomiting, etc.

2. If the baby suffers from infectious diseases such as hepatitis, tuberculosis, and serious heart disease, the body's immunity will decrease, and it is very likely that the baby will not be able to cope with the reaction caused by the vaccination, and the condition may even worsen.

3. Babies with skin diseases cannot be vaccinated.

4. Babies with allergic constitutions are prone to adverse reactions and should consult a doctor before deciding whether to get vaccinated.

5. If your baby is not suitable for vaccination, but must be vaccinated due to special circumstances such as being bitten by a dog, be sure to get the vaccine under the guidance of a doctor.

6. Babies who have sexually transmitted diseases and have not passed the quarantine period should not be vaccinated.
