Question
Can children with allergic asthma be vaccinated? What about their allergy history and past treatment effects? The school requires the flu vaccine, but the child is allergic to certain substances. How do we decide whether to get vaccinated?
Answer
Children with allergic asthma can be vaccinated if the allergen test is negative and their condition is stable. Those allergic to eggs or gentamicin may experience allergic reactions after vaccination, so symptoms like fever and acute recurrence should be monitored. People with chronic diseases, Guillain-Barré syndrome, uncontrolled epilepsy, children under 3 years old, and pregnant women should not be vaccinated. Children who have had asthma can be vaccinated, but close monitoring is recommended. It is advisable to seek professional medical advice to confirm if vaccination is appropriate.
