Question
Is it okay to delay the third dose of the flu vaccine? I just had the second dose of the HIB vaccine yesterday, when is it most appropriate to administer the third dose? Is it necessary for a baby almost 11 months old to receive the fourth dose of HIB vaccine? Urgently awaiting your response, thank you!
Answer
As long as the baby is not feverish, generally speaking, delaying the third dose of the flu vaccine will not cause significant impact. It is typically recommended to administer the third dose one month after the second dose. Additionally, the fourth dose of HIB vaccine can be considered unnecessary since the first three doses have already provided adequate protection. It is advised to continue monitoring the baby’s nutrition and digestion status and to take appropriate measures in a timely manner.
