Can I take a shower before vaccination?

Vaccination is what we call injections in spoken language. Vaccination is something that many children don’t like. It can be said that all children don’t like injections. Taking children to get vaccinated can be a daunting task, because children also have a herd mentality. When they see other children crying, they will scream at the top of their lungs. There are many things to pay attention to before vaccination. Can you bathe your child before vaccination?

You can still bathe your baby, but it is best to wait one day after vaccination before bathing your baby.

Vaccines refer to biological products made from various pathogenic microorganisms for use in vaccination. Among them, vaccines made with bacteria or spirochetes are also called vaccine. There are two types of vaccines: live vaccines and killed vaccines. Commonly used live vaccines include BCG, polio vaccine, measles vaccine, plague vaccine, etc. Commonly used inactivated vaccines include pertussis vaccine, typhoid vaccine, meningococcal vaccine, cholera vaccine, etc.

The production time for different vaccines varies, and some vaccines may take 22 months to produce a batch. Vaccine development is a long, complex and costly process. Vaccination is the most economical and effective public health intervention measure to prevent and control infectious diseases. It is also an effective means for families to reduce the incidence of diseases among family members and reduce medical expenses.

It is estimated that immunization prevents 2 to 3 million deaths each year from diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough and measles. Global vaccination coverage (the percentage of children worldwide who receive recommended vaccines) has remained stable over the past few years.

Vaccines are auto-immune preparations used to prevent infectious diseases that are made by artificially attenuating, inactivating, or genetically modifying pathogenic microorganisms (such as bacteria, rickettsia, viruses, etc.) and their metabolites. Vaccines retain the ability of pathogens to stimulate the animal's immune system. When an animal comes into contact with this harmless pathogen, its immune system will produce certain protective substances, such as immune hormones, active physiological substances, special antibodies, etc.; when the animal comes into contact with this pathogen again, its immune system will follow its original memory and produce more protective substances to prevent the pathogen from causing harm.

The discovery of vaccines is a milestone event in the history of human development. Because in a sense, the history of human reproduction is the history of human beings' continuous struggle against diseases and natural disasters. The most important means of controlling infectious diseases is prevention, and vaccination is considered to be the most effective measure. And the facts have proved this to be true. The smallpox virus that had threatened humans for hundreds of years was completely eradicated after the emergence of the cowpox vaccine. This marked the first victory of humans in using vaccines to fight viruses, and it also made people more convinced of the role of vaccines in controlling and eliminating infectious diseases. Over the past 200 years, the vaccine family has continued to expand and develop, and there are currently more than 20 types of vaccines used to prevent and treat human diseases.
