Question
My baby is already 5 months old, and I can’t remember if the BCG vaccine was administered at birth. Can it still be given now?
Answer
The BCG vaccine cannot be administered directly. First, it is necessary to undergo relevant tests and examinations to confirm that the baby is not infected with tuberculosis bacteria before vaccination. In addition to following the doctor’s instructions for treating the baby’s diseases, parents should also seek professional advice and maintain good communication with the doctor. In terms of diet, it is important to maintain a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, choosing a reputable hospital for treatment is also very important, which helps to achieve better treatment outcomes.
