Question
My baby has been crying and fussing lately, and even after visiting a doctor, no issues were found. I want to ask if there’s any effectiveness in getting a vaccine when the baby is coughing?
Answer
It is not recommended to administer vaccines when a child has a cold or cough, as this may affect the vaccine’s immune effectiveness and could exacerbate side effects, leading to allergic reactions. It’s advised to get vaccinated after the child has recovered from the cold, which typically will not impact the vaccine’s immune effectiveness. Parents should not worry; may the baby grow up healthy.
