Is It Suitable for Children with Leukemia to Receive Vaccinations?

Question

If a child has leukemia, is it suitable for them to receive vaccinations? Are there any effective treatment methods? I kindly request professional medical advice from a doctor.

Answer

For children with leukemia, it is recommended to avoid injections or oral live vaccines, such as the BCG vaccine for tuberculosis prevention or the oral polio vaccine. Since children’s physical functions are not fully matured, the occurrence of leukemia poses significant challenges to their lives and studies. Therefore, parents and healthcare professionals should carefully consider the suitability of vaccination and seek professional medical advice. I hope this information can be helpful to parents and remind the public to stay away from potential risk factors that may lead to such diseases.
