How to vaccinate against polio and DTP simultaneously: possible reactions and consequences?

since the birth of the baby shown vaccination. Some vaccinations are complex, so the DPT and polio at the same time made the kid. But it also happens that the child is a separate schedule of immunization. Experts say that if these vaccinations together, a child's body faster will gain immunity. In modern medicine used complex drugs (Pentaxim, Infanrix Hexa, etc.) or grafting is done in two different vaccines (Infanrix+Imovax).

DTP Vaccine against diphtheria

As for joint immunization, pediatrician is obliged to warn the parents that the burden of vaccinations will be big, especially if to do them at the same time. So each must decide for himself, to get vaccinated or to gradually use of complex drugs.

pertussis-diphtheria-tetanus vaccine (DTP vaccine)

This vaccine helps to develop immunity against pertussis, diphtheria and tetanus. Each of these diseases has its danger:

  1. Diphtheria. This disease originates from an infection that enter the body through the respiratory tract. The ill child gets poisoned by toxins, develops pathology of the nervous and cardiovascular system, and also affected kidneys. This disease is transmitted by airborne droplets.
  2. Tetanus. Affects the nervous system, but if timely help is not forthcoming, then will stop breathing and the heart muscle. Infection may be through contact with an open wound. Pathogens live in the soil and the sand, so it is important for parents to supervise that their child didn't touch anything in this case, the child's hands should be thoroughly washed with soap, preferably economic. The risk group includes children who constantly get injured. According to statistics it was noted that outbreaks of tetanus occur in those areas where the recently occurred disasters or emergencies.
  3. Whooping cough. The disease is triggered by ingestion in a child's body of the infection. Initially the child begins to cough hoarsely, but with the progression of the disease (which happens very quickly) possible spasms of the respiratory system, causing the baby simply stops breathing. Get infected by whooping cough can be airborne. If the child has had the disease, then, unfortunately, the immune system is still not formed, but repeated infection of the disease will be somewhat easier.

DTP Vaccine against tetanus

All three diseases threaten the life of the child, so doctors have always strongly advised to be vaccinated with DTP, in order to insure. Of course, over a lifetime, people may not be faced with such illnesses, but having vaccinated the immune system, to live will be safer.

Adsorbed pertussis-diphtheria-tetanus vaccine is put into 4 stages. Such grafting is done by injection intramuscularly. First vaccination is done at 3 months, second at 4-5 months, and the third vaccination six months, one in 1.5 years. If you go through all 4 stages, then the child will get a reliable immunity against pertussis, diphtheria and tetanus.

When the kid grows up, he should undergo revaccination. This helps to support the immune system at the proper level. Age re-vaccination is 7-14 years, it is important, what was the reaction to revaccination.

Next revaccination is repeated every 10 years. It so happens that the kid in the childhood vaccination was well tolerated, but in adolescence is having a reaction to the vaccination. And again here it is necessary to look at the extent of such manifestations, in order to provide timely assistance.

allergic reaction as a contraindication to DTP

Contraindications to vaccination

Vaccinations are not held just so. The fact that every vaccine can cause an adverse reaction or complication. To avoid this situation, you must know that vaccination is strictly prohibited under the following conditions baby:

  1. If the child is sick or just had been ill with acute respiratory disease. Vaccination is done not earlier than a week after the baby will recover.
  2. the Presence of allergic reactions to components of vaccines.
  3. Immunodeficiency is a contraindication to vaccination.
  4. DTP is forbidden to do if the baby has history of neurological pathology, while they progress.

Temperature as a side effect after vaccination with DTP

If the parents are neglecting one of these moments, and the doctor negligently treat a child's condition, inoculation can lead to extremely unpleasant reactions, including death. Usually from vaccines is eliminatedthe pertussis component, so as not to worsen the child's condition. Taking any of the medicines must be agreed with the doctor, as the interaction of various substances can provoke negative reaction from organism.

DTP, polio and hepatitis, and other vaccinations, have their own possible side effects. If they appear "easy" reaction, this is a signal that the body begins its restructuring and, therefore, do not worry. However, when side effects generally do not manifest themselves, too, don't worry. So the child accepts the inoculation.

In that place where was made the injection, the skin may slightly redden and swell up, and to touch this area of the body becomes slightly denser. Often DTP has the following side effects:

Vaccine for polio

In modern Pediatrics vaccinations DTP and polio are made jointly. But if there are any contraindications, vaccination can be divided into two different approaches. Can use the following types of drugs:

  1. Inactivated vaccine – the polio Imovax and Polirics. The first tool produces Belgium, it includes 3 types of inactivated polio virus. The use of this product provides a soft effect on the child's body, so it is permissible to use for the youngest age category. Blends well with other drugs, without giving almost any adverse reactions. Polirics French agent, which in its action and composition is similar to the first.
  2. Integrated. The most popular medicine is considered to be the Pentaxim, Infanrix Hexa and Tetracom. The first and the last preparations made by France and the other by Belgium. Considered safe Pentaxim and Tetracom, as they have a complex effect, it does not contain preservatives. As to Infanrix the Hex, then there is the pertussis component in the form of 2 antigens, because of what such childhood immunizations can show themselves adverse reaction.
  3. Live vaccine. Although imported drugs are often used, such vaccination is also applicable. It contains 3 strains of the virus and magnesium chloride, which is a stabilizer.

instead of Pentaxim DTP

What to do to a child, must decide each parent himself. But without the advice of a doctor to insist on a particular drug is not necessary, because the specialist is more competent in these matters, and therefore he knows better what will fit in the case.

As for adverse reactions, once vaccinated, the child may experience the following States:

  • the child becomes excitable, irritable and nervous;

  1. Before vaccination and after the child should be placed in a room where there are no sick people. The fact that a few days after vaccination, the immune system will be weakened, so catching any disease so much easier.
  2. Before going to the injection room is mandatoryvisits to the pediatrician. Even a slight cough or snot can be a contraindication to vaccination. It can be done only if the baby is completely healthy and from the latter disease was not less than a week.
  3. If the child is allergic or has any chronic disease, without consulting a specialist cannot do. Such a doctor, depending on the condition of the child, make up an individual vaccination schedule.
  4. parents Often neglect the delivery of blood and urine tests. But this procedure will help to identify potential problems with the vaccination.
  5. If the DTP, polio, hepatitis b or other vaccination is for a child who goes on the lure, for 3-4 days until "X" baby stop giving new products. Use the old menu.
