How soon after stopping prednisone ( for asthma attack )can i give my child the mmr vaccine ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wait 30 days: If this was a standard 4-5 day burst of oral steroids for an event, I usually wait 30 days before giving the vaccine. If it was a much longer treatment period an additional delay may be warranted.
