Ava is on antibiotics (again) and she is overdue for her 15 month shots. can she still get immunised when she is on antibiotics?

I think the combo of antibio's and immunisations are ok, but I would ask whether she's well enough in herself to have them? If she's on ab's, has she had a temp recently? You should wait a week or 2 after them having a fever to get the imms. We are rather overdue also but Nat has always reacted badly to them, and since she's been sick lately, I'm waiting till after Xmas!

Don't want to put you off though - maybe check with your doc or healthline?

Yeah ava has been on antibiotics for various things for months. She has been on 5 lots in 3 months thanks to daycare! She doesnt have a fever. I will ask the Dr I guess, because she is nearly a month overdue.

The MMR jab contains live viruses. Maybe dose her up on probiotics for a week or 2 before she gets it?
Probiotics would be a very good idea anyway if she has been on antis for a long time.
