Appropriate Vaccination For Seasonal Influenza For A 3.5 Yr Old Child
Question: Whats the appropriate vaccination for seasonal influenza for a child of 3.5 years
Hi XXXXXXX,
Regarding your concern, I want to tell you that children aged 6 months through 8 years require 2 doses of influenza vaccine (administered a minimum of 4 weeks apart) to optimize immune response.
The vaccine is available in injectable form and intranasal form.
Therefore, you should consult your nearby Pediatrician to vaccinate your child.
Do write back in case you have follow up queries to ask.
Regards.
