Mom of a 4 yr 6 m old girl3 years ago

Q.

my daughter of 8 months old is having cough and cold, is it safe to give her Flu vaccine second dose?

1 Answer

Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy3 years ago

A. simple cough and cold as well as simple discomfort of the child for a few days is not a contraindication for vaccination and it is aadvisable to go for vaccination at the earliest. the maximum you can delay would be around 2-3 weeks but after that it is advisable not to delay the vaccination If still in confusion you can meet your doctor who will examine the child and tell you whether vaccination delay is preferable or you can go for vaccination
