Any Harm

[~EmsMum~]

DD was meant to have her 4 month jabs today
but due to her having a cold I decided to put them off for a week :)

its not going to make any difference her having them a week later is it ???

A week won't make any difference although a couple of months may.

Good thing you put it off if she has a cold though, great idea to let her body deal with that first:thumbsup:

Its not going to make any difference and it is probably better that she is well before getting them done... DS had his jabbs at the comminuty centre (as it was free and didn't have to pay for a doctor) and they were never exactly on the dates he was due.. Sometime they were a couple of weeks after...


Good luck

No shouldn't be an issue being one week later - I did the same thing as well - my DD had a cold and was grizzly so I postponed her vaccinations until the following week. No problems! :p

I won't make a difference, my DS2 has had some over 2 months late because he got really sick.

Usually they don't like to immunise bubs if they have a cold anyway.

ok thanks for that girls :D

Yep, DS had his 6month immunisation 2 months later(a couple of weeks ago) for the same reason. Dr said it wasn't a problem, as long as he had his 12month ones when they were due.

It's always best to let them heal from any other health issues first so that the body can handle the vax better and also so that you don't miss any negative reactions due to the vaxx.

jake had his 2months behind as he was to sick to have them done, i took him to the doc and she told us to leave it awhile

Depending on how sick a child is will depend on whether you should leave then vaccinating till a later stage but everyone likes to leave it so that bubs gets better & can deal with the vax on its own.
A few weeks is fine but dont leave it any longer as it leaves a window of opportunity !

Hope your lo feels better soon :)
