Question
What disturbances or side effects might a 29-day-old baby experience from receiving the B-Hib influenza vaccine? The baby was vaccinated against the flu instead of the routine preventive shots at the hospital.
Answer
Babies under one year old are best to first receive vaccines from the planned immunization schedule. Guidance: Receiving the flu vaccine may cause fever in babies, but as long as there’s no fever, other side effects are generally mild. It is recommended to prioritize basic immunization vaccines afterward, which can be the simplest and cheapest option, as basic immunizations for babies under one year old are usually half-priced and mandatory. It’s acceptable to decline any costly or expensive vaccines.
