CF and hepatitis
- Question
- Is it desirable to vaccinate a CF child against hepatitis? If yes, does it mean both types, A and B? What time of the year is suitable for this vaccination? Is it possible to vaccinate against flu between doses against hepatitis? Thank you for your reply.
- Answer
- Hi, yes, it is desirable to vaccinate a CF child against hepatitis. It is preferable to vaccinate against both types - A and B (in case that the child was not vaccinated against B before). It doesn’t matter at what time of the year the vaccination takes place, nowadays it is good to start immediately. Vaccination against flu can be performed 14 days after a dose of vaccination against hepatitis. In general, there has to be no fixed interval between different dead vaccinations such as hepatitis A, B and flu vaccination; it is possible to vaccinate them all simulatneously, but sometimes an interval like e.g. 14 days between them is more practicable.
Best regard
