What vaccines should a two-year-old baby get?

Vaccines are something that babies must get. Of course, there are many types of vaccines. Some vaccines need to be given no matter what the situation is. Secondly, some vaccines are selective, and whether to vaccinate depends on the physical condition of the parents and the baby. Moreover, vaccination does not require all vaccines to be administered at once, but needs to be carried out in stages. So the question is, what vaccines should a two-year-old baby get?

There are two types of vaccinations:

1. Class I vaccine. This is provided free of charge to citizens by the government. Children cannot attend school if they have not received all the first-class vaccines, such as BCG, ordinary diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus vaccine, sugar pills, measles vaccine, hepatitis B vaccine (5 micrograms), meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine, ordinary Japanese encephalitis vaccine, etc.

2. Category II vaccines. This is a vaccine that is voluntarily received by citizens at their own expense. Everyone can choose according to their family situation, such as hepatitis A vaccine, chickenpox vaccine, rabies vaccine, etc.

Things to note after vaccination:

1. After vaccination, rest at the vaccination site for about half an hour to observe whether the baby has high fever or other adverse reactions.

2. After vaccination, the baby should get adequate rest, drink plenty of water, and keep warm.

3. Do not bathe your baby on the day of vaccination, but make sure the vaccination site is clean to prevent local infection.

4. If your baby has a slight fever, loss of appetite, irritability, or crying after vaccination, don't worry. These reactions will generally disappear automatically within a few days. However, if the reaction is severe and lasts a long time, you should seek medical attention promptly.
