What are the precautions for injecting meningococcal a+c vaccine?

Generally speaking, in order to better resist diseases, doctors usually recommend giving babies the meningococcal A+C vaccine. However, due to the baby's weak constitution, they often experience some discomfort symptoms one second after the injection. So what precautions should babies take after receiving the meningococcal A+C vaccine? Next, let me lead everyone to understand the relevant knowledge in this regard.

1. It is an intramuscular vaccination, usually with fever and lethargy, which can usually be relieved in 3 days. It requires intensive care and careful attention, as well as increased nutrition and supplementation of vitamins and trace elements.

2 People with epilepsy, convulsions, brain diseases, a history of allergies, kidney disease, heart disease, active tuberculosis, acute infectious diseases, and fever cannot be vaccinated.

3. Stay for observation for 15-30 minutes after normal vaccination; if a mild reaction occurs, it will generally disappear within 1-2 days and no special treatment is required. Symptomatic treatment can be used if necessary.

4. Do not take a shower within 24 hours after vaccination. After vaccination, observe at the vaccination site for half an hour without any reaction before leaving. Give your child plenty of water to drink. If there is swelling at the vaccination site, apply local hot compress in time.

5. If your child is sick, has severe allergies, or is taking immune products, you must inform the doctor immediately.

6. After vaccination, children should be given a light diet and should not eat any particularly irritating foods. Seafood and eggs should also be eaten as little as possible.

7. Some babies may experience fever, lack of energy, local nodules, etc. after vaccination. Don't worry, as these are common adverse reactions to vaccination. If the body temperature is below 38.0℃, you can take care of the baby at home first, let the baby drink more boiled water; eat more light meals, and let the baby pay attention to rest. Generally, the temperature will subside naturally after two days; if the baby's body temperature is above 38.0℃ or the systemic reaction lasts for more than 3-4 days, the baby should be sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. The induration at the injection site can be improved by applying local hot compress.

These are the things you should pay attention to after your baby is injected with meningococcal a+c vaccine. For the sake of the baby's health, parents must have a thorough understanding of the above-mentioned precautions. Do not bathe your baby within 24 hours after the injection, and give your baby plenty of water and a light diet. Only by taking the above measures can you avoid the occurrence of fever.
