In the case of some diseases, even after recovery vaccinations are not immediately apparent. Sometimes the delay can be up to six months. This happens in case of severe disease, such as, for example, meningitis, mononucleosis, viral hepatitis.
In these cases, the body needs more time to recover, so the whole schedule of vaccination significantly shifted. However, this does not mean that they must be discarded altogether. On the contrary, time deadlines are not met, then approach to further vaccination should be even more serious.
If the baby neurological, allergic, some congenital disease, it is likely to still shows inoculation. Once they are done by a special individual schedule. Most of this for his health will observe the doctor-immunologist, who will give the necessary recommendations.
