Baby Japanese encephalitis vaccination schedule is here! Recommended collection for new parents
The timing of Japanese encephalitis vaccination is a matter of concern to many parents, because Japanese encephalitis is a viral disease spread by mosquitoes and can cause death or sequelae in severe cases. In order to protect your child’s health, it is very important to know when to vaccinate against Japanese encephalitis.
First, we need to understand the types of JE vaccines. Currently, the JE vaccines used in my country mainly include monovalent inactivated JE vaccine and live attenuated JE vaccine. The monovalent inactivated Japanese encephalitis vaccine is made from dead viruses and is relatively safe, but requires multiple vaccinations to produce immunity; the live attenuated Japanese encephalitis vaccine is made from attenuated viruses and only needs one vaccination to produce immunity. immunity, but relatively low safety. Therefore, when choosing a Japanese encephalitis vaccine, you need to consider it based on your child’s age, health status, and doctor’s advice.
Next, let’s take a look at the schedule for Japanese encephalitis vaccination. According to my country’s vaccination plan, Japanese encephalitis vaccination is divided into two stages: basic immunity and booster immunity.
1. Basic immunity stage: This stage is mainly to allow children to establish immunity as soon as possible after birth and prevent the occurrence of Japanese encephalitis. According to the vaccination plan, the basic immunity of Japanese encephalitis vaccine starts from the 28th day after the child is born, and a total of 3 doses are given. The specific times are: day 28, day 84 and day 180. At this stage, parents need to follow the doctor’s recommendations and take their children to receive the JE vaccine on time.
2. Strengthening immunity stage: This stage is mainly to consolidate and improve the child’s immunity and prevent the recurrence of Japanese encephalitis. According to the vaccination plan, the booster immunization of the Japanese encephalitis vaccine starts from the third year of life of the child, and a total of 1 dose is given. The specific time is: 3rd birthday. At this stage, parents also need to follow the doctor’s advice and take their children to get the JE vaccine on time.
It should be noted that the timing of JE vaccination may vary by region, season and individual differences. Therefore, in actual operation, parents also need to adjust the timing of JE vaccination according to local vaccination policies and doctor’s recommendations.
In addition, there are some special situations that need to be paid attention to. For example, for premature infants, low birth weight infants or children with special diseases, the time of JE vaccination may need to be advanced or delayed. In this case, parents need to closely cooperate with the doctor’s guidance to ensure that their children can receive the JE vaccine on time.
In short, the timing of Japanese encephalitis vaccination is a very important issue, related to the health and life safety of children. Parents need to understand the types of Japanese encephalitis vaccines, vaccination time and precautions, and reasonably arrange their children’s vaccination plan according to the doctor’s advice. At the same time, parents also need to pay attention to their children’s reactions after vaccination and seek medical attention in time if there are any abnormalities. Through scientific and reasonable vaccination, we can effectively prevent the occurrence of Japanese encephalitis and protect the health of children.
