Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. yes can take flu vaccine
flu vaccine also known as influenza vaccine is very important for decreasing the chances of viral infection by at least 60% in your child.
the first dosage is given at the end of 6 months and the second dosage at the end of 7 months and then every year till completion of 7 years of age.
previously it was an optional vaccine but now it is considered as an important vaccine for children.
flu vaccine can be started at any age.
best time for flu vaccine is usually just before rainy season on set

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. After a recent illness and hospital discharge, it's generally advisable to consult with your child's pediatrician before administering any new vaccines, including the influenza vaccine. They can assess your baby's overall health, recovery status, and provide guidance on the appropriate timing for vaccinations.
### **Key Points to Discuss with Your Pediatrician:**
1. **Current Health Status:** Ensure your baby is fully recovered from the recent illness and any hospital treatment.
2. **Vaccination Schedule:** Discuss whether it’s the right time to introduce the influenza vaccine based on your baby’s medical history and current health.
3. **Potential Interactions:** Check if there are any concerns or contraindications related to the recent illness or hospital treatment that might affect the vaccination.
Your pediatrician will provide personalized advice to ensure the safety and well-being of your baby.
