Question

Can a baby with a slight runny nose get the meningitis vaccine?

Answer

If a baby has a slight runny nose but no other symptoms of the common cold, such as coughing, expectoration, or fever, they can receive the meningitis vaccine. However, if there are other symptoms present, it is recommended to delay vaccination or consult with a doctor. Also, it is important to ensure the baby stays warm, drinks plenty of fluids, and maintains good health. If symptoms worsen, medical attention should be sought promptly.
