Question

What vaccines can babies receive at one year old? The baby has been experiencing symptoms such as a runny nose, phlegm in the throat, and mild cough for the past few days, and the medication has not improved the condition. Can the baby receive vaccinations in this situation?

Answer

One-year-old babies typically can receive the HIB vaccine and chickenpox vaccine. Based on the described symptoms, it appears the baby is suffering from a cold. In this case, vaccinations should be administered after the illness has improved to avoid any unnecessary reactions. I hope this advice is helpful to you and your baby. Wishing you both good health!
