delaying third set of jabs due to illness

Just wondering if anyone can reassure me about this. My son is due his third set of jabs today but he's not well.

Due to a combination of illness and the dr's cancelling appointments, we're already slightly behind schedule with jabs - he's 19 weeks now, he had his first jabs at 9 weeks and the second ones at 15 weeks.

Will I be ok to delay till the end of the week when he's better? I'm just worried about Prevenar really - is an 11 week gap instead of 8 week one ok and will a few days make much difference?

Yes, the longer gap is OK, just make sure he gets them as soon as possible after he's well again.

thanks for the reply, have cancelled today and rebooked him in for Thursday, hopefully that'll be ok.
