Question
Can children with a history of cephalosporin allergy receive the diphtheria and pertussis vaccine (DTP) and the A and C meningococcal conjugate vaccine (A+C Meningitis)?
Answer
Allergies to cephalosporin drugs do not cross-react with vaccine allergies, so it is safe for them to receive the flu vaccine. However, precautions should be taken to determine if the child has an allergy to eggs or milk. If there are no such allergies, the vaccine can be administered normally. For young children, whose immune systems are weaker, it is easier to contract pediatric myelomeningocele. Parents should not worry too much and should take their children to a top-tier hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner, and regularly conduct health checks under the guidance of a doctor, taking symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication as prescribed.
