Does a one-year-old baby need the flu vaccine?

Answer

There is no need for a one-year-old baby to receive the flu vaccine. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet, consume plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, stay hydrated, ensure adequate rest, maintain emotional stability, and supplement with a variety of vitamins to enhance immunity, which will help in a quicker recovery. There are many factors that can cause respiratory diseases in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor for active treatment, perform appropriate gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also be cautious not to let their children develop picky eating or fussy eating habits and arrange meals properly.
