Question
Can an infant go out after receiving a vaccine?
Answer
After an infant gets vaccinated, it is recommended to let them rest at home and avoid strenuous activities on the day of vaccination. If going out is necessary, it’s best to postpone it until a few days after the shot. Regularly clean bottles and disinfect them by boiling in water to prevent diarrhea. Try to avoid crowded places where your baby might be exposed to infections. Keep the home well-ventilated and take them to parks with fresh air. At this time, you can introduce fruits and vegetable juices as complementary foods to supplement vitamin C and boost immunity. Also, make sure the baby stays warm by wearing breathable cotton clothing. If anyone in the family has symptoms of infection or cold, avoid close contact with the baby and consider isolation to prevent transmission.
