Does leprosy vaccine have to be given at 8 months?

Leprosy vaccine is a relatively common vaccine and it is also a must-have. Leprosy vaccine should be administered according to the age of the child. Generally, it can be administered from one year old to over three years old. Children around eight months old are still relatively young. It is best to consult a doctor as to whether they need to be vaccinated, because there will be a vaccination schedule after birth, which can be followed.

When should leprosy vaccine be administered?

When should the leprosy vaccine be given? According to the enhanced regulations, the leprosy vaccine can be given to children who are 8 months old or older. The measles, mumps and rubella vaccine is usually given to children between one and three years old. At present, it is not a big deal if the child does not show any signs of discomfort. Just let the child drink more water and do not bathe him/her within 24 hours. Then observe for three days.

It should be noted that because babies have low immunity, they are prone to catching colds or developing fever due to other diseases. If the baby is vaccinated with leprosy vaccine at this time, it will aggravate the baby's condition or induce complications, and will also increase the body temperature. Babies should not be vaccinated if they accidentally contract an infectious disease and are in the recovery period, or have a history of contact with an acute infectious disease but have not yet completed the quarantine period. If the vaccine is given at this time, adverse reactions may easily occur or the original condition may be aggravated.

Measles, rubella and mumps are common infectious diseases among children. All three diseases are transmitted by airborne droplets. Crowded environments and close contact between children will increase the chance of infection. Babies have no natural immunity to measles, rubella, and mumps and are easily infected. The MMR vaccine prevents three diseases, reduces the pain of multiple injections for children, and also helps reduce the adverse reactions caused by multiple vaccinations. It is a good choice.

Leprosy vaccine precautions

Steps:

1. After giving your child the measles vaccine, you must observe the child's condition more. Don't think that everything is fine after the vaccine. The problem lies in the negligence of the parents. At this time, we need to see if the baby is the same as usual and whether there is a fever. Some children also have a little fever after the measles vaccine. At this time, parents don't have to worry too much. If you find it serious, you should see a doctor!

2. After the leprosy vaccine is given to children, it is important to give them more boiled water. Drinking more water can make them sweat more. For children with a slight fever, it has a very good heat dissipation effect. In addition, drinking more water can increase the metabolism of children who have just received the vaccine, make the blood circulate better, and eliminate excess toxins in the body. If children do not like to drink water, you can give them some juice or something in moderation, but don't drink too much!

3. Babies who have just received the leprosy vaccine should also pay attention to their diet at this time. Do not eat foods that are too greasy, spicy, or seafood, such as fish, and do not eat broad beans. Also, pay attention to whether the child's injection has caused inflammation or the injection site has not swollen. If there is an inflammation problem, see a doctor as soon as possible and do not delay the child!

Note: During this period after the baby is vaccinated, it is necessary to ensure that the baby is not lacking in parental care. Some parents are busy and have to take care of the child's grandparents. They may lack knowledge in this area! They don't know the taboos after the child's vaccination, etc. So try not to be out of the parents' sight!
