Question
How can I find out if Xinjiang provides the same enhanced pediatric polio vaccination service as Guangdong Province on December 5th?
Answer
Considering that vaccination plans may vary by region, it is recommended that you contact local healthcare institutions or health departments to obtain the latest vaccination information. If you have contacted multiple organizations but have not received consistent answers, it is suggested to further contact the disease control center or relevant health department in Xinjiang to confirm whether the enhanced pediatric polio vaccination service is provided. In addition, the following points should be noted when administering the oral polio vaccine:
- Children should start with the basic immunization at 2 months old and continue to receive vaccinations at 3 and 4 months, with another dose at 4 years old.
- Vaccines should be stored at room temperature and should not be dissolved in hot water or taken with warm water to avoid loss of virus viability and vaccine effectiveness.
- If a child has severe diarrhea, a high fever, or chronic diseases such as severe rickets or active pulmonary tuberculosis, vaccination should be postponed. These precautions help ensure the effectiveness of the vaccine and the health and safety of the child.
