Abstract
Can children now go to the hospital for vaccinations, and how should infants be protected? In February Afternoon of the 26th held Press Conference of the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism Up , Feng Luzhao, a researcher at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, addressed several questions of public concern.
It’s almost time for the child to get vaccinated. Hesitating whether to go or not?
Parents are advised to stay informed about the operating hours and updates of local vaccination clinics and to discuss their child’s specific situation with the vaccinating physician. It is recommended to schedule appointments separately and stagger vaccinations. The first dose of the hepatitis B vaccine and the BCG vaccine for newborns should be administered promptly at the delivery facility in accordance with the national immunization schedule. If the mother is positive for hepatitis B surface antigen, the second and third doses of the hepatitis B vaccine should be given without delay after making an appointment with the vaccination provider. Post-exposure prophylactic vaccines, such as those for rabies and tetanus, must be administered promptly according to the established vaccination schedule.
If community transmission occurs in your area, you may temporarily suspend vaccinations other than the four mentioned earlier, and be sure to catch up as soon as the local outbreak has ended. If there is no community transmission in your area, you can schedule your vaccination according to the specific requirements of the local health administrative department or disease control agency, as well as the vaccination provider’s availability. When going for vaccination, remember to take appropriate precautions—both parents and children should wear masks, avoid touching hospital surfaces whenever possible, practice good hand hygiene, refrain from rubbing your eyes, nose, or mouth, and wash your hands promptly.
How should infants be properly protected?
Infants should not wear masks, as this can easily lead to breathing difficulties and even pose a choking hazard; therefore, outings should be avoided whenever possible. For infants, passive protection is paramount—meaning that children are safeguarded indirectly through the protective measures taken by parents, family members, and caregivers. During the pandemic, to minimize the risk of infection for infants, it is advisable to designate a relatively consistent caregiver. This caregiver should refrain from going out as much as possible; first, they must wear a mask properly, and second, they should avoid sneezing or exhaling directly toward the child. Additionally, the caregiver should exercise caution when handling the child’s utensils, toys, and everyday household items. of the object Before interacting with or playing with your child, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly. Do not share utensils with your child, and when feeding them, do not blow on the food, nor taste it yourself or chew it before offering it to your child.
