Do test tube babies need to be vaccinated for 40 days?
IVF refers to the babies born with the assistance of in vitro fertilization technology. For this special population, many parents have doubts when facing the problem of vaccination. So, do IVF babies need to be vaccinated 40 days after birth? The following will elaborate on this issue from four aspects.
1. Development of immune system of test tube babies
The immune system of IVF is still relatively weak in the first few months after birth, unable to effectively resist the invasion of external pathogens. Therefore, IVF babies need to be vaccinated to improve their immunity and prevent a series of infectious diseases. According to the relevant regulations of the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, IVF babies need to start vaccination at the age of 40 days.
Vaccination can stimulate the infant's immune system to generate immune memory and improve the body's resistance to disease by introducing some weakened or inactivated pathogens. According to different disease types, the vaccination time and the type of vaccination are also different.
2. Necessity of vaccination
Vaccination is very important for IVF. As IVF may be exposed to eggs and sperm of multiple IVF mothers during fertilization, the risk of carrying pathogens is increased. Therefore, IVF vaccination can help them resist a variety of infectious diseases during their growth and lay the foundation for their healthy growth.
At the same time, IVF babies also need to take planes or go to public places, so the chance to contact the outside environment increases, and the risk of virus and bacteria infection also increases. Therefore, vaccination can reduce the probability of IVF infection to a certain extent.
3. Time point of IVF vaccination
According to the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Health and the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the vaccination time of test tube infants is basically the same as that of ordinary infants. At the age of 40 days, test tube babies need to receive the first dose of hepatitis B vaccine, as well as other basic vaccines, such as polio vaccine and DPT vaccine.
Generally, the vaccination time of IVF will be adjusted according to the specific hospital and the health status of the baby. For example, some surgical operations will affect the vaccination time, and doctors will make corresponding vaccination plans according to the baby's situation.
4. Specific operation of IVF vaccination
Test tube baby vaccination needs to be carried out in hospitals or vaccination sites, and professional medical personnel will vaccinate babies according to the actual situation. Before vaccination, relevant personnel will learn about the baby's physical condition and family genetic history in detail to ensure the safety of vaccination.
During the vaccination process, the medical staff will give the baby an injection or oral vaccine. After vaccination, the doctor will observe the baby and give corresponding nursing guidance to ensure recovery and health care after vaccination.
Summary
To sum up, test tube babies need to be vaccinated when they are 40 days old. Because its immune system is not fully developed, vaccination can improve its immunity and prevent a series of infectious diseases. Vaccination is essential for the healthy growth of IVF babies and helps reduce the risk of infection. The time point of IVF vaccination is basically the same as that of ordinary infants, and will be fine tuned according to the actual situation. In order to ensure the safety and effectiveness of vaccination, vaccination should be carried out under the guidance of professional medical personnel.
