Epidemiology expert: It is not recommended to vaccinate during the acute onset period of influenza virus infection

The National Health Commission held a press conference today (November 21) to introduce the relationship between seasonal solar terms and health. Peng Zhibin, a researcher at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, stated that whether to receive the influenza vaccine after a respiratory infection can be determined based on the stage of the illness and the body's recovery status. First, it is not recommended to vaccinate during the acute onset of the infection; vaccination should wait until symptoms have disappeared and the body has basically recovered. Second, some patients with underlying diseases may be relatively weak after infection, and it is advisable to consult a doctor and comprehensively assess their physical condition to determine the appropriate vaccination time
