Is it safe to vaccinate when a child has neutropenia ?

[Rebelwithallthecause]

DC has been diagnosed with neutropenia Which is not yet under control and currently susceptible to illness

Would I be ok to Vaccinate ? He’s due his preschool boosters?

And if his immune system is so low would he mid previous vaccinations still work?

This decision should be made by your child’s haematology consultant x

I would call a doctor to ask

you need to ask the dr.
pre school booster has 'life' vaccines (mmr)

Thank you

DS was regularly neutropenic when on chemotherapy, I think I remember having to wait for his counts to improve before he could have the flu vaccine

You absolutely need to check with a consultant.

Would the vaccinations even work right now anyway? I thought they worked by triggering an immune response.
