Question

My baby is eight months old and their preventive shots have been delayed for almost a month. They didn’t receive the shots at eight months due to a fever, and the delay continued due to medication reasons. Recently, they’ve been running a nose and are still on medication. I’m not sure when they can receive the preventive shots. What was the treatment and its effectiveness in the past…

Answer

The timing for administering vaccines to your baby should be determined based on the specific type of vaccine. If your baby has a high fever, it is not suitable to administer the vaccine at that time. Although it’s just a simple fever, theoretically, vaccination can still be done. For specific recommendations, please consult your attending physician. The above suggestions are for the question ‘How to Handle a One-Month Delay in Vaccination,’ hoping it will be helpful to you.
