A member asked:
2 month old; prescribed hydrocortisone 75 mg daily with antibiotics for bronchiolitis, can i continue vaccination which is scheduled next week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I wouldn't: This dose seems a bit high for a 2 mo old (although dose varies with condition) and would impair any response to a vaccination. I generally wait a month after any therapeutic steroid treatment before I give vaccines.
