Can babies get the chickenpox vaccine if they have a fever?

Babies with fever cannot get the chickenpox vaccine. Babies cannot get the vaccine in the following situations:

1. If you have a fever, especially a high fever or accompanied by obvious general discomfort, you should postpone vaccination to avoid aggravating symptoms after vaccination. Vaccination needs to be postponed during other periods, such as the incubation period, prodromal period, onset period or recovery period of acute infectious diseases, and the acute attack period of chronic diseases.

2. Children with allergic constitutions often experience allergic reactions after vaccination. If parents have this problem, their baby will usually have it too, so be sure to pay attention. For example, babies who are allergic to eggs cannot use many vaccines, so they need to make it clear to the doctor before the injection.

3. Be more cautious with babies who have had convulsions. Convulsions are complicated, so once they occur, you should go to the neurology department of the hospital for examination in time to see what caused it, whether it is simply high fever or a nervous system disease. If the disease is caused by diseases such as brain hypoplasia, encephalitis, meningitis, etc., it is not advisable to vaccinate with diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus combined preparations, Japanese encephalitis and meningococcal vaccines, because these vaccines have an impact on the brain.

After understanding whether babies can get the chickenpox vaccine if they have a fever, when giving the baby the chickenpox vaccine, you should conduct all aspects of the baby's physical examination, so that you have some understanding of the baby's physical condition and can discover abnormal changes in time, so that the baby's chickenpox vaccine will not harm the baby's body.
