Question
Can a child receive a vaccine if their stool turns black after drinking formula?
Answer
The child has been consuming formula milk for a week, and their stool first turned black and then green, which might be a sign of dyspepsia. Although vaccinations are administered via subcutaneous injection, it is advisable to get vaccinated only when the digestive system is functioning normally. It is suggested to temporarily switch to a combination of breast milk and formula feeding until the child’s digestive system recovers, and then return to full formula feeding.
