vaccination after antibiotics

[fmadrigal]

Hi there, my son is still on antibiotics and will be ending on the 22nd. I was wondering if it's fine to have him vaccinated his second doses when he just finished his antibiotics. I am just a bit worried because it might be contraindicated.

I would want to wait a few days, personally, but it really is up to you. Most physicians are ok with giving vaccines if the child is no longer feverish or presenting other symptoms of illness.

Hi fmadrigal,

I agree with mom2many - I would wait until your child's immune system is strong again. Here's a good article that will help you to know when you should vaccinate your child.

Please let me know if you found anything in that article helpful.

Warm regards,

Kate
