Hi,
My DD has a cold (started today, Weds) and her 4 month immunisations are due to be done on Monday. Does anyone know if it's still ok to go or if the cold interfers?
Thanks,
Clare.

I am pretty sure its ok to have to have jabs with a cold. Think if they are vomitting or have the poops then not. Im not sure about a temperature though

don't quote me on this but i am sure baby has to be fit and well to have jabs ....... i know they do for the MMR but not totally sure about the other jabs...

Sorry not much help am i? sure someone else will know more than me.

A friends baby got turned away when she had a cold. jabs make baby feel yucky, so if already have a cokd then thats doubley yucky.

Not too sure but ask gp when you get there on Monday

BunnyBoo · 28/09/2005 13:03

Racer maybe phone the docotors and ask someone or a HV?

Thanks, there's no temp or other nasties, so hopefully should be ok. I suppose if we get turned away at least she can have her weigh-in and we get to see DH for an hour as I collect him from work for these things!!

I took DS2, age 4, for his pre-school booster (DTP) and they were happy to give it to him with a cold as long as there was no fever - they took his temp and declared him fine.

Just to let anyone interested know, it was fine for her to have the jabs as she had no temperature etc.
Thanks!
Clare.
