Question
A five-month-old baby received the Diphtheria, Pertussis, and Tetanus vaccine at 10 AM on the 16th. The needle wound has healed and is scabbed over. The parent inquires if the baby can take a bath today.
Answer
The baby’s needle wound has already formed a scab, so bathing is not an issue. Just be careful not to knock off the scab; bathing is safe.
