Is there a minimum interval between Covid vaccine and other vaccinations?
It is possible the concomitant administration (or at any distance of time), of an anti-Coid-19 vaccine used in Italy and another inactivated (anti-poliomyelitis, anti-diphtheria, anti-tetanus, anti-influenza, anti-HPV). In the case of live attenuated vaccines (measles, rubella, mumps, varicella) a minimum precautionary distance of 14 days before or after is considered valid.
What are the contraindications to vaccination?
The only one is the appearance of a serious side effect (anaphylaxis) after the first dose of the vaccine or a previous severe allergic reaction to the components of the vaccine.
If my child has had Covid and is cured, is vaccination recommended?
If the infection has occurred (positive swab): it is possible to carry out a single dose of vaccine as long as the vaccination is performed at least 3 months and within 6 months of documented infection, the evaluation of antibody titers is not useful to decide whether carry it out; if more than 12 months have passed since the disease, to be adequately protected it will be necessary to carry out two doses of the vaccine, if monoclonal antibodies or convalescent plasma have been taken, it is necessary to wait 90 days before carrying out the vaccine
Can allergic children be vaccinated?
Patients with a history of minor allergic reactions can get the vaccine without the need for precautions, even in pediatric studies. If, on the other hand, the child has had a severe allergic reaction to another vaccine, it is prudent to carry out the vaccination in a “protected environment”. Children with previous anaphylactic reactions should be observed for 60 minutes.
