Basic rules of vaccination

Before you vaccinate a child, you must always visit a doctor who will examine the child. In some cases it is better to consult an allergist, neurologist or immunologist. Also, one of the important criteria for deciding on the possibility of vaccination is the results of urine and blood tests of the child.

Before you vaccinate, refrain from introducing any unaccustomed food to the child's diet. This will help you make the right conclusions on the reaction of the body after the vaccination.

To the child it was easier to go with you to the manipulation room, take your favorite toy and in every possible way calm it down.

After the vaccination has already been done - carefully monitor the condition of the baby. In some cases, adverse reactions such as fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, edema or rash at the injection site may occur. If there are any alarms, tell your doctor.

Contraindications to vaccination

1. In no case can you do the vaccination if the baby is not healthy - he has a fever, acute respiratory infections or acute intestinal infections.
2. You should also refuse from vaccination if the reaction is too violent or negative after the previous injection.
