Influenza vaccination
- Question
- Hello I have a 3y little boy with cystic fibrosis who must be vaccinated against influenza. He has a runny nose right now. Can he be vaccinated despite that?
Thank you for your answer. Best regards
- Answer
- Hello,
While it is important to vaccinate people with cystic fibrosis there is no urgency. You can wait a few days to verify that your little boy is not incubating an infectious disease.
Furthermore, if your boy has a runny nose but no other gastrointestinal, respiratory or systemic (fever, fatigue) symptoms, I think there is no risk to vaccine him.
Best wishes
