I do not know how much your son weighs or why he is on Budesodine. Discuss with your local Dr. They know your son. I do not.

Budesonide as an inhaled medication for bronchospasm is active at the site of need and metabolized/broken down significantly before it can transfer to the bloodstream. Regular use does not change the effectiveness of vaccines. If given as an oral liquid it can effect vaccines and vaccine administration should be done after steroid effect has faded, often a month or more depending on dosing.
