Question
If a doctor’s negligence results in a child receiving an excessive dose of the measles vaccine, how should it be handled? What kind of impact might this have on the child?
Answer
Most cases of vaccine overdose reactions appear within a week and are typically characterized by fever. If it’s been a longer time, the vaccine is likely ineffective. It is understood that after receiving ten doses of the vaccine, it is impossible to assess the impact on brain development. Parents should continuously monitor their child for any unusual conditions and consider hospitalization. Children with normal immunity usually do not have issues, but those with weakened immunity may contract Japanese encephalitis. It is recommended to consult with a local hospital for further advice.
