Can newborn vaccination be delayed?

I believe many parents know that when a baby is born, he or she will be vaccinated within a certain period of time. Usually this period is certain, and the injection of these vaccines is mainly used to prevent similar diseases in the baby's body, which will have a certain impact on the baby. So for this fixed-time vaccination, can it be delayed? What kind of impact will it have on the baby after the newborn vaccination is delayed?

How long can baby vaccinations be delayed?

Try to get vaccinated on time. If it has to be postponed, try to keep the postponement as short as possible. It is generally best to postpone vaccination for no more than 1 month. It is best to get the vaccine when the child is completely healthy. If the child has a fever, diarrhea, or severe eczema, it is best not to get the vaccine. The potential risks are very high. If the child has been ill and has not recovered, don't consider the time issue. No matter how long it has been since the vaccination, do not get the vaccine without the doctor's permission.

Children need to receive many vaccines. If the schedule of subsequent vaccinations is delayed for too long, the entire vaccination plan will be disrupted and have to be readjusted, wasting more time. If too many vaccinations are postponed, the child's risk of contracting the virus will be greatly increased because they will not receive antibodies to defend against the disease in time. It is very likely that the disease will be transmitted due to the lack of timely vaccination.

Under what circumstances should vaccination be postponed?

Vaccination can be postponed appropriately, but it is best to vaccinate on time. However, it is also common that the baby cannot be vaccinated on time due to illness or other reasons. If the vaccinations are not given on time, you can gradually make up for them when the child is in better health. Generally, infants and young children are required to get the missed vaccines before going to school. The main function of vaccines is to prevent children from contracting related diseases. Vaccination on time can better protect children's health. Failure to vaccinate on time will increase children's risk of infection. As long as the intervals between booster shots are appropriate, there will be no adverse effects on children's health. The effect of booster vaccination in preventing related diseases is basically the same as regular vaccination.

After vaccination, infants and young children must be observed in the vaccination hospital or health center for 20 to 30 minutes. During this period, infants and young children can leave only if they do not show any abnormalities. After vaccination, children should drink plenty of water. Parents should pay attention to monitoring their children's body temperature changes and pay attention to whether they have adverse reactions after vaccination such as fever, local redness and swelling.

In addition, it is definitely not good to advance or postpone the vaccination at will. It is not allowed to advance the vaccination according to the regulations of the vaccination program. If the baby is sick or the parents have time, it can be postponed appropriately. There are no reports of any adverse effects of appropriate postponement. However, if the baby is not vaccinated on time when he reaches the vaccination age, it may increase the risk of infection.

As long as the baby is healthy and has not been infected with the disease that needs to be prevented, it is okay. It is not allowed to vaccinate in advance. It can be postponed appropriately according to the situation. If the baby has a fever, vaccination is definitely not allowed. It can only be postponed appropriately. Fever is one of the signs of an acute infection. If the baby has an acute infection such as fever, diarrhea, or the baby's eczema is severe, or the baby's mental or physical condition is unwell, vaccination is not suitable and should be postponed appropriately.

Vaccinating newborn babies is for the sake of their health. Newborn babies have relatively weak immunity, so vaccinating them as early as possible can best protect their health. Therefore, all mothers must understand the importance of vaccination, follow the doctor's advice, and protect the health of your baby together.
