CDC experts: It is not recommended to vaccinate during the acute phase of influenza virus infection.

The National Health Commission held a press conference today to introduce the relationship between seasonal changes and health. In recent times, there has been a high incidence of respiratory diseases. If flu-like symptoms are present but have not been diagnosed and have self-resolved, should the flu vaccine still be administered? Peng Zhibin, a researcher at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, explained that the decision to administer the flu vaccine after a respiratory infection should be based on the stage of the illness and the body's recovery. Firstly, it is not recommended to administer the flu vaccine during the acute phase of infection. It is best to wait until symptoms have subsided and the body has recovered before getting vaccinated. Secondly, patients with underlying health conditions who may be weakened after infection should consult a doctor and assess their overall health before determining the appropriate time for vaccination.
