Question
The child was hospitalized for half a month (in the intensive care unit for severe pneumonia) and forgot to ask the doctor if they could receive the second dose of the vaccine when discharged. Now, there are four days left until the scheduled vaccination time for August. Can we administer the second dose of the vaccine to the baby?
Answer
If the planned vaccination schedule has been missed, you can go ahead and get vaccinated at the next scheduled time. In this case, you can receive a booster dose. It is recommended to visit your local community healthcare station to have the child vaccinated by a doctor and remember to bring their vaccination record.
