A member asked:
Can my young son get his 7th grade shots (one is live vaccine) while on a liquid potent steroid for inflammation named budesodine? or should we wait until he's off it?

Would never advise use of a live vaccine when anyone is taking a medication which can suppress immune system activity, due to risk of triggering an infection. Prefer you wait, but ask your regular doctor about his unique circumstances, and then decide.
