Are Measles Vaccination Advisable While On Antibiotics In Infants?
Hi, my 9month old child is taking antibiotics as a part of his medication for cough and colds but he has a scheduled measles vaccination on the 2nd of february and that s also the last day of his intake of amoxicillin for 7days. Is is ok to proceed with the measles vaccine although he still has antibiotics on his system? Thanks.

Yes, welcome to HCM. Can understand your concerns. Measles vaccine can be given while on antibiotics but fever should not be present.
