Question
The baby’s body temperature was measured at 37.2 degrees in the cot, and it was 36.1 degrees after going to bed for lunch. Is this body temperature suitable for the DPT vaccine administration?
Answer
The child’s body temperature is currently normal. If there are no discomfort symptoms, it is appropriate to administer the DPT vaccine. Avoid bathing within 24 hours after vaccination, drink plenty of water, stay warm, and prevent fever.
