Can children’s vaccinations be postponed?

We all know that there are time limits for baby vaccinations, such as what vaccines should be given when the baby is a few months old, what vaccines should be given after the baby is one year old, and so on. This requires parents to always have a vaccination schedule in mind and take their babies for vaccinations step by step. But sometimes parents may have other things to do, so it’s delayed. So, can children's vaccinations be delayed?

Is it okay to postpone my baby's vaccination?

Vaccinations can be postponed.

Vaccines themselves are a means of preventing diseases. Children are generally required to receive three shots, one month apart. In fact, this time can be postponed. Some children have better immune systems and can produce enough memory antibodies with one shot. In fact, these babies do not need to get the next two shots, so there is certainly no problem with postponing the shots.

Is there any harm in delaying vaccination?

Normally, delaying vaccination will not cause much harm to the baby, as long as the baby is not exposed to too many strangers during this period, especially not going to crowded public places. This is also done considering that the baby may not have enough antibodies in the body and the immunity is not very strong, so as to avoid the risk of infection. However, there are many types of vaccines for babies. If one of them is delayed, the following vaccines will be delayed. The baby cannot be vaccinated again within one month of the previous vaccination. This is also for the health of the baby.

After reading the above content, I believe many mothers know that it is okay to postpone the vaccination because of the baby's physical condition. Sometimes the vaccine is only to enhance the baby's immunity, but many vaccines are live attenuated vaccines. Therefore, if the baby is sick, it may be harmful to the baby. Therefore, it can be postponed. If you are in good health, you should get the vaccine on time.
